are you in love with a person or the image...

i often hear the phrases, im a mess, i dont know what i want, im confused, i think i like him/her etc... i think you get the point. and some from myself, mainly i dont know what i want. but have you ever had any of these words come to mind? it seems to me that a lot of us or are attracted to the image of what we want to see in someone rather then who they actually represent. so its come to my understanding that if you ever feel this way about someone or something, try chocolate and watch fullmetal aclhemist. on a side note, we all have these problems but knowing when you like a person for the image you want to see them for can get confusing and thats when you see relationships were you ask why are they together. generally speaking though. feel free to chimein
