“Voici mon secret. Il est très simple: on ne voit bien qu'avec le cœur. L'essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.” –Le Petit Prince
I was riding the light rail on Saturday night when a couple who were visually impaired got on and sat across from me. I observed the couple as they held one another and sat quietly. They looked so sweet and happy together. It really got me thinking about love (something you analyze way too much after you’ve experienced heartbreak). I started thinking about how pure their relationship must be. How they had probably come together because they had something in common that allowed them to relate to one another, but that they were able to truly know the other and love the other for everything that they really are, looks and superficiality aside. I know for the most part that I will always be driven to another person by physical attraction, as long as I am able to, but I can only hope that I will be lucky enough to end up with someone through the important stuff… through their quirks, values, and everything that could never be expressed by the way they look.
Thank you light rail love. <3
