“Love is so blind”
-Rihanna
Alright, so I may be a little late with this, but I just watched Rihanna’s interview on 20/20. First of all, wow. I admire her strength, getting on national TV and telling the world about probably her most vulnerable moments. Second, I admire her for realizing that her actions affect a lot of young girls and women and the fact that she didn’t just ignore it, but how that helped her make her final decision. Just the way she talks about it, you can tell that the entire situation is very emotional for her, obviously, and that she is sincerely worried about how her actions effect others. She is being extremely responsible about the entire situation. She wants to turn this into a positive thing even though it’s nowhere close to one.
But her quote is what hit me the most through the entire interview, that love is blind. I’m sure many people have experienced this thought or emotion. I’m sure that this could spark something within everyone who has been in a relationship. Not just love, but emotions are blind. Rage, love, all of it blinds you from an objective point of view. Reason and rationality are out the window when emotion walks in the door. I’ve made some pretty stupid decisions when I was mad – just in a rage about something. But I’ve also done some stupid things because I was in love. I’ve crashed my car out of both rage and lets say lust. The good thing about little situations like that is the learning experience. You learn what happened and how to avoid those situations. Since my accident I’ve tried so hard not to let anger get the best of me in any situation because I am an emotional person and I’m angered pretty easily. I make stupid decisions in the heat of the moment. I try to take a step back, take a minute, and think about what I’m doing, what I’m thinking, and what is actually happening.
So yes, love can be so blind to everything going on. It’s easy to get caught up in something so good when the bad times seem so fleeting.
My support and my faith is with Rihanna.
Question: Have you ever had one of those moment where you knew you were doing something stupid, but went ahead and did it anyway?
