Whosoever said love is blind made a huge mistake, because love itself isn't blind, but it can be blinding.
Some few days ago, something happened to a very close friend of mine that made me realize that as long as someone is in love, they tend to ignore everyone else and just focus on that thing that they love, almost like love is leading the way and has blinded them from seeing any thing else.
Now I know it's too early in the year to be talking about heartbreak but seeing how we're in the month of love, it just fits perfectly that I talk about my friends love life which got completely shattered just last night.
You see, my friend has been in love with this particular lady since towards the end of last year. He would always spend time with her everyday, escort her on errands and all that stuff you do for someone you love.
But you see, whenever I see him doing all of those stuff, I would always ask him if he has made his intentions known to her and he would always tell me that he hasn't, and that he doesn't want to rush things but would rather go with the flow.
Now that wasn't exactly a bad idea, but the reason why I always asked him that question was because whenever I was with the both of them, they were certain signs I would see from her that gave me the impression that she wasn't into him as much as he had thought, but everytime I told him about my observation, he would dismiss it and tell me that I was wrong.
Of course that was him getting blinded by love and choosing to see only the good side of things and not the entire thing.
Well last week, we had all gone out for a little bit of night swimming and while we were in the pool, she had spent the entire time swimming with some other guy who also stays in the same hostel.
At first, I thought nothing much of it and felt whatever it was they were doing would end in the pool but I was wrong because I started seeing him everywhere with her, just like my friend used to be everywhere with her in the past.
But unlike my friend who ended up spending months just hanging out with her and not even getting a positive response from her on if she would like to be his girlfriend (he told me he asked her one time and she said she needed time to think), I got news last night that she was now in a relationship with the new guy.
She had confirmed this to my friend who also told me about him, and as a good friend, I did the only thing he would expect me to do, I laughed hard.
This wasn't because I liked the fact that they didn't work out, but because laughing at the situation was a lot more better than saying 'I told you so' and I confirmed this when he too joined me in laughing.
So yeah, don't get blinded by love, ask the necessary questions when you have to, and if things doesn't work out like you want it to, you can easily move on and just forget all about it.

I agree with you. Sometimes we only choose to see that thing what we want to see and make judgement based on it. So at the end I think we choose to be blind.
And it's mostly because looking at things from the other angle will only make us feel hurt.. And we don't want to hurt ourselves.
