We were gifted with the ability to make sense of other beings even at first glance.

It is a way to form impressions of our peers, whether it be good or bad.

Most of the time, one would point out specific attributes, particularly physical ones.

The eyes. The mouth. The nose.

And of course, the face – being the most common one.

Objectively speaking, there lies no harm in recognizing the physicality of one in a first encounter – it is what our eyes initially see after all.

However we draw the line once we allow these preconceived notions to cloud our judgment, imposing a limited view of the subject.

We must get rid of humanity's tendency to focus too much on specific parts, unable to witness the whole.

I, myself, am a victim of biases. It is, in fact, a part of human nature.

However, upon catching sight of you, the bits and pieces ceased to matter because somehow, I recognized the whole of you.

I failed to identify the shape of your eyes or the furrowing of your brows because

I saw you in your entirety.
