I don't believe in love at first sight, and it is not because I am anti romantic.
I am against love at first sight because it is simply too shallow to be real love, and I understand that the line between infatuation and love is drawn thin especially when you are younger, because that is when it is all so new to you...you think you know love because in most cases rather than not, you love someone already. Friends, family, your pet goldfish even. So when you meet someone that is intriguing or appealing to the aesthetic portion of your brain and you have all of these intense feelings you automatically assume that it, above all else, must be love.
Love should not be intense, it should be soft and slow. You shouldn't feel an adrenaline rush but rather as though you're slipping into a hot bath. The warmth should flood your body and above all else you should then feel safe, serene, at peace even.
My Mom fell in love every other week when I was younger- it was always passionate kisses goodbye and bruised arms.
That is not love, or at least the standard of the love I wish to seek for myself someday.
