"BEAUTY AND THE BEHOLDER ... It happens to all of us - we meet someone and instantly fall deeply and madly (sometimes even stupidly) in love, only to wake up one day and realize the person we fell in love with isn't all we imagined. Turns out love is really blind. ... In the end, it seems, beauty really is in the eye (or in this case, the mind) of the beholder. Love, however, is a whole other monster. Attraction is superficial and wears off eventually ... We just have to recognize and be realistic that the initial feelings aren't going to last forever. True love, however, conquers, sees and accepts all." ~ Carla Torres, Brickell Magazine, July/August 2014
