One Kg of Love

I remember the first time I fell in love

I was 16 years old then, minding my own business doing homework in the library after school

The library was closed with half its lights off, only librarians allowed

and there I was

I can't remember if I was skipping class then, but it was dark outside, perhaps raining

I was lost in my own world thinking I was alone,

when suddenly the most popular girl in school, Serene, came up to me

She smiled to me and said something kind to me

In the darkness of that dim lit library, the brightness of a warm fuzzy funny feeling entered my heart

and stirred something deep within me which had not been there

This was a feeling unlike any other feeling

and it captivated me

Though she might not realise what she done to me,

that moment with Serene began my 14 year quest journey in pursuit of this warm fuzzy wuzzy feeling that I felt in my heart

My life was never the same since

I was born with really bad eyesight

I can only see things which are 10 cm in front of me clearly, everything further away is blur

No one knew I had bad eyes until I was 7 years old when I started primary school

I sat 1.8 meters from the chalk board not getting any much work done because I couldn't see anything written on it

This got me in trouble at school and my concerned parents sent me to the eye doctors, who prescribed spectacles which remedied my eyesight

Suddenly it became clear to everyone how come I always run headlong into things and injure myself

So it is at the age of 7 that I finally "saw" for the very first time !

Sight is amazing !

All this while I have been wondering how on earth people can drive cars not being able to see clearly what's ahead

I thought maybe it's a grown up thing and that if I finally grow up to be bigger then I would be able to see clearer and further or somehow able to sense what's up ahead through some supernatural senses

Turn out that, oh, it's just that I have bad eyes XD

Its really great now that I am able to see

but that also means I would now have to contend with the other people and things around me that I can now see also -_-
