Hello, everyone.
I welcome you to my blog and another wonderful contest organized by the Hivenaija community. No doubt, love is a beautiful thing; it gives you butterflies in your belly and sometimes headaches. It's not a smooth journey all the way through, so one has to prepare for both, but it gives the best feelings when you are with the right person From the moment you fall in love, you tend to become a happier version of yourself. Most of all, it comes with a feeling that words cannot really express. Nothing encompasses when the energy from both parties matches and no one is forcing the love.

Those feelings you get that you cannot get the right words to describe—love is one of those feelings. One of the things that changes people really fast is love. You see a careless person become very caring, trying to know about the welfare of their lover, how they are faring, and mostly how to make them happy. Love is a beautiful thing; it glows, and if someone loves you, there's no way you wouldn't see it. Emotions and feelings cannot be hidden; the eyes and actions of an individual say it all, even when they try to hide them.
We don't just fall in love at once; I'd say it is a process. The feelings start to grow, and before we realize we are starting to have a mental disorder, we are long gone 😂.
To the question of the week: do I believe in love at first sight?
I once thought of it, but I think love at first sight is some kind of infatuation; the love is not really there, and after that day, if you don't get to see that person again, you won't feel anything. Love does not work that way. So my answer is no; I don't believe in love at first sight. If you love a person, you will like to see them every day and feel some kind of way when they are away, but in this case, nothing about them crosses your mind.
Like I said earlier, love is a gradual process. It has to be someone you see every day, maybe a friend, and you start to like the person's personality, character, dress sense, and how articulate they are, not just seeing a person on the street and claiming to love the person without even knowing their personality or their kind of person.
So many people might be against my opinion because it probably has something to do with love at first sight. The truth remains that if you felt love at first sight, your partner did not, but you kept in touch, and along the way they found reasons to love you.
Love is groomed, and it takes time to grow; you cannot skip that process and call it love. Love at first sight? What exactly about the individual do you know or love? Maybe the person only looked attractive and you felt like it was love, but I'd say love does not work that way. You have to groom it; we don't just fall in love overnight and wake up one morning and say we are in love; the process must be observed, as love is not a sudden feeling.
