Polished Journal #1

Love is a complicated thing. Personally, I don't believe in love at first sight. I don't think it really occurs with other people either. I think people will say they had love at first sight, but in reality they truly fell in love after getting to know each other not the moment they laid eyes upon each other. I don't think anyone in their right mind would marry someone else based on first sight. Of course people can feel a connection and want to get to know each other more. Those feelings defiantly aren't love though. I don't think I will experience love at first sight because I really don't like judging people based on looks. Who knows though? Maybe I am wrong and I don't believe in love at first sight because I haven't experienced it yet. I just think that those feelings go past looks and take time to develop. To understand if you truly LOVE someone I think you should really know them and not be as impulsive. Of course there are so many people in this world that yeah someone has probably been married on first sight. That's just how crazy the world is today.
