This is going to sound weird. However, sometimes I do not see people’s faces clearly. I don’t mean that I’ve got bad eye sight, I mean I do but that’s not the point.

I mean, sometimes I feel like I don’t truly see someone.

Have you ever watched a show, let’s say The O.C. and you love it, you know the main characters and get excited when you see the actors in another show or movie. So, Adam Brody for example. I loved him as Seth and love seeing him in other stuff.

Then you watch The Vampire Diaries and you get to know those characters and that cast. Then you’re rewatching The O.C. and suddenly… hey is that Paul Wesley?!

It’s mad! Why didn’t I notice him until The Vampire Diaries! He has a significant role in the episode in The O.C. as well but I did not remember his face.

And I’m not face blind, I’m the opposite.

This will happen so often.

Or like Monsta X. I just got into them but I’ve always known about them. I had a cap on the amount of groups I could like so I never added Monsta X because I had so many. But I would see memes of Hyungwon or hear about Wonho and Shownu, or I knew that the rappers were I.M and Joohoney. But now that I’m actually interested in the group, it’s like I can see them clearly. Especially someone like Minhyuk. I never did see any of the shows he hosted so I only ever saw him when he was performing, and he looked fierce. All day everyday he serves face on stage.

But then I saw man smile and I was like wow, it’s crazy how your whole face changed.

Kihyun remained the same, I thought he looked super confident and self-assured and he is (in a good way). However, getting to know the group I see different sides and it’s fascinating.

In real life I think grandparents would be the best example. When you meet your grandparents you’re meeting them at the middle or end section of their life. You know them when they’re established and have learned some life lessons.

It’s crazy the difference between the way I see my grandparents and how their children see them.

When I start to learn more about their young life or just see them do something I had never seen them do before it’s like wow, a new version of your face has just been unlocked.

Is this making sense?

It’s like when you see only half of a person, you don’t truly take them in. However, when the fog clears and you see more of the person via learning more about them or seeing them do something new and different and it’s like wow, I can see your whole face now.

This may be a me thing but it fascinates me.
