The moment when married people gaze at each other
When you meet someone in a crowd at a moment, do you feel like your heart is beating a beat late? Especially if it is between married people, it is even more confusing to the "thrilling" feeling. Even if you value your home and everyday life, your heart will be shaken in an instant. At such times, you feel weakness as a person, and at the same time you are aware of the existence of "feelings of love" that were still sleeping inside you.
Of course, there is a sense of guilt behind it. The reason to try to control oneself by saying "I should not have such feelings." How should I face the emotions born at random moments in my daily life, which is chased by family responsibilities, children's smiles, and household finances? Many people may be lost in the same way, but they may feel that "the excitement of the heart itself is not a sin."
For example, when standing in line at the supermarket cash register on the way home from shopping. While assembling the dinner menu in my head, I remember my children s likes and dislikes and glare at the budget. In the middle of such a common daily life, when I suddenly turn to the side, I meet someone I don t know. That moment may feel like inserting a small color into the monochrome scenery of life.
There is no beginning, just a line of sight. There is no exchange of words, and there is no exchange of contact information. However, just for that moment, the heart is softly lit. It feels like lighting a small lamp that has been stored away for a long time.
And that light may give you the power to look forward mysteriously. The night when the laundry is folded, the quiet living room after the children go to bed, the daily life when the conversation between the couple has decreased. The memories of casual gazes that I remember at such times give a little color to my heart.
From now on, there will surely be countless coincidences lurking in everyday life. Not all of them will develop into love, but I want to cherish that there is "myself who feels excitement" in my heart. Just thinking like that makes the same day look a little different.
Being able to believe that a story can be made just by crossing eyes may bring color to your life.
