Crazy…… to love someone who hurts you? You know what’s crazier? Thinking that someone who hurts you loves you.

One Comment on “Love is blind”
There’s not even a lot written here. And yet, it still grabs you and then stabs you. It is actually quite riveting, what you did here. It is thought-provoking because of the whole simplicity of it. The last sentence is what really hits the reader – “Thinking that someone who hurts you loves you” – because it can fit under so many scenarios. The reader can envision a man striking his wife because she came home late and he was worried. The reader can imagine a wife verbally degrading her husband because he has been severely slacking off in his work, his home life – everything. The reader can picture lots of screaming and tears and objects thrown violently across a room. And what makes all of these scenes utterly heart-breaking is the idea that – it is all done because those people care and love each other, maybe a little too much. That’s what makes this piece enthralling; with only three sentences, you have compelled the reader to think about the possibilities where the sentences would qualify and also question the plausibility of it all. Bravo!
Still, I do wish you would elaborate on this piece. Although I love that you’re allowing the reader to conjure up their own individual scenario and relate to the piece in their own distinct way, it ended way too soon. Thus, I challenge to expand this piece more. Flourish it out. Talk about more how the blinding effect of love: how love contorts your mind, makes you irrational, consumes you, takes over your body until you’re suddenly taking action with cognition, makes you perceive things in a way that suites your own mindset and separates you from reality. In doing this, not only will your point be further substantiated, but also the piece overall will be more fleshed out and captivating!
