The Filter Theory

There's this concept that when you start falling for someone, you have this filter on you. That irritating thing that keeps you from seeing the obvious red flags that you keep ignoring, because you're in that cloud of "falling in love"

And me? I have such thick lenses that I can be considered blind, the filter in my eyes is so goddamn distorted that you might think that its f*****g photoshopped.

It's like going out on a very sunny morning, without a cloud in the sky and you're wearing your prettiest dress. You look very flawless and your eyeliner is on fleek.

So, you thought to yourself. 'It's going to be a great day'

Well sorry to break it to you

But it rained

Hard!...

And you don't have anything to block you from the painful water drops from the sky, because you're the idiot that didn't check the weather report this morning.

Now you learned that you should always bring your umbrella, use your raincoat and boots. And you made it a habit. And sometimes you just don't try anymore, and just hole yourself up in your house.

But there is just that one thing that you shouldn't forget.

There is always sunny days, you just have to take a chance again.

This is the story Quincee. A story of finding oneself and what love truly is.
