THERE IS BEAUTY IN UGLINESS

Sometimes dating someone with potential is like seeing a caterpillar before it turns into a butterfly. At first glance they are all slow and ugly to you, and in most instances, you feel like the process can be so frustrating and stressful when you don’t have the patience to stay for all their bullshit.

However when you do so, you end up seeing something special in them. You know that they’re capable of turning out to be something more than what they are, what they could be and what they should become. This is what keeps you staying for a while. You hope they end up turning out alright. You hope they fight all their vices, temptations and inequities and attach themselves to some sort of niche so they can attain the beauty of life’s utopias. In simple words you crave every day that they get their shit together when they finally get into their “life’s cocoon” of having, for example, a decent education, job or salary so they can be financially mature.

Not only do you wish they reach monetary stability, you hope they reach some sort of spiritual freedom and become intimately aware of the beautiful things around them. They look better, dress better, feel better and in correlation to their plight of happiness you feel comfortable around them, more open and consequently you end up falling in love with them, even deeper. Because you’re seeing them become something amazing.

You saw them move from a sluggish human being who fed on nothingness all day long. You saw them move from this unpleasant looking creature that nobody cared about, but because you saw something in them that nobody else could, you took a leap of faith. You believed there was more to them than just being a caterpillar.

You feel part of their transformation to change, their journey to restoration and their alignment with life’s blissfulness. You have stuck around them from an ugly caterpillar, to them entering life’s cocoon, until they blossomed into one heck of a beautiful freaking butterfly! You helped someone grow, and not only does that make you feel good, but you cheered them on to become something amazing in the end. And to me, that’s really the definition of true love. The love is unbiased and unconditional. Whether it’s God’s love, humanity’s love or a mother’s love, you hope that the person that you adore, care about and cherish ends up being better than what you found them.
