Once you lose emotional attachment to someone, you see them for who they are, not what you wanted them to be. Till now, you saw them for what their potential is — with the positivity and goodness you had in yourself, with the hope you carried for them. You believed in the version of them that existed only in your mind, not in reality. You overlooked red flags, thinking they were just signs of temporary struggle, not permanent traits. You gave them chances they didn't earn, just because you thought they could do better. But once you keep your feelings aside, you start to see everything clearly. You start noticing the emptiness behind their words, the shallowness in their charm. You see how ordinary, how mediocre, how dull they actually are. You realize the love you felt was coming only from your side all along. Now that the rose-colored glasses are off. you can see the true colors.
