It is quite strange that everyone have a type of person they like – standard set of traits that attracts our attention towards anyone. No matter what the ideal list is defined by our own selves, by the society or by the people around us; we can’t control the predilection that we genuinely feel towards anyone. And this holds true not only for our love interests but for all kinds of relationships. You might still remember that one rebellious kid in your class, the silent backbencher at the library, the outspoken girl who used to get into trouble every other day, that one family member with a competitive streak, or may be that one humble celebrity you love to stalk on social media.
Ever given a thought why are we so infatuated with them ? They are not the ideal role models with a perfect personality. But they do possess some or other idiosyncrasy that we admire because somewhere deep down inside we want to be like them. We all fell in love with people who manifest the qualities we wish we had. They somehow represent an unfinished dream from our childhood.
Maybe our hands are tied or maybe we are just not brave enough. Whatever the reason is – the heart wants what is wants! And the mind learns to live in a reality created with a hint of distant fantasy. Even though it sometimes is subconscious, we crave for a certain way of living. But instead settle up for a life where we pick up the pieces of our imagination from every other individual we come across. These people leave a deep impact on us and we remember them for a lifetime. Confuse it with obsession, crush or platonic love, the fact is that it is a worshipful affection felt towards Someone You Adore.
