As a youth I came across a girl and was immediately attracted to her. I was fascinated by certain traits in her; the way she blinked her eyes, a winning smile, a twitch of her shoulder. Shyness prevented me from expressing my feelings to her. She went away from my life, but the attraction prevailed.
Forty years later, I suddenly met her. Her new image broke the bubble of fascination. I looked at myself closely in the mirror, and the bubble shattered to pieces.

You have an inspiring post. It brought to mind a book I read last year. The book is called ‘you think it; I’ll say it”, by Curtis Sittenfeld, and it mirrors your post in how we often believe what we imagine, to be true.

40 years later. So… she got older. The attraction was superficial.
