Love thread (but this didn’t happen)

“Love at first sight isn’t a thing.” - a thought I’ve had a million times.

After all, how is anyone supposed to love someone they have NO MEMORIES with? That has never made sense to me.

....Until now.

(But only in theory).

I’ve changed my mind. Not because it has happened to me recently (or ever.) And nothing like that is on my immediate radar as even a possibility.

Mindset shift:

I think love is a spectrum, journey, and a thread. It comes in stages.

I think ACTUAL “love at first sight” is just seeing the thread.

I always have thought of “love” as the comfortable, established middle stage.

I‘ve had a couple of threads fray out. Those loves were real, but they were a part of my story that was always supposed to end anyway.

I have love threads of friends and family. Threads of places and hobbies. I’m the naked person underneath and they make up crazy and unique outfits just for me. Or blankets. WHICHEVER!?

I guess the point of this is -

1. I’m covered in enough love to survive and be protected into an indefinite forever

2. Love at first sight is recognizing a beginning and naming that particular thread for what it is.
   

At least I think so.
