Who do you see?

There are over 6 billion people in the world, for better or for worse. And yet in that number we only see one. That one person who somehow becomes our world, the center of our universe and yet they can’t even see us. It’s not that we’re invisible, that they can’t see us but that they choose not to. They don’t even care to. The time and effort we put in thinking we’re investing in something real only to find out that we’re living in a bubble. And how much it hurts when our bubble is burst.
Yet we can’t seem to see past them. They’re still everything we want, everything we think we need. That there’s no one else like them out there in the world. No one else better. No one else better for you. There are so many people out there but so few in our world and yet we confine ourselves only to what we know, what we see, holding on for dear life, praying they’ll never let go. Until one day we let go.

Over 6 billion people in the world and yet in our world we only see one.

I was blind but now I see...

They say we fail to see what’s right in front of us because we’re forever looking for that something we hope to find. That something that drives us to continue the search even when we feel disappointed at the end of each day.

Yet in that hope of looking for it, we sometimes fail to realise that it found us. Sometimes we open our eyes and realise its too late and sometimes we don’t know a good thing even if it was to hit us.

I was blind but now I see. And forever seems like a long time to be blind.
