Do You Believe in Love at First Sight? Maybe It's More Spiritual Than You Think

We’ve all seen the movies—eyes lock across the room, time slows down, music swells, and in that instant, the characters just know. Love at first sight, they call it. But the older I get, the more I begin to wonder: maybe what they showed us was just the surface. Maybe the real magic of that first encounter isn't about perfect lighting or physical perfection. Maybe it's something deeper. Something spiritual.

What if love at first sight isn't about sight at all? I am talking about physical attraction.

What if it's about recognition? A soul remembering something before the mind catches up. A spiritual spark that says, “I know you,” even if you’ve never met. There’s a stillness in that moment, like your spirit just nodded and said, yes, this one.

It’s not always a fireworks show. Sometimes it's a quiet certainty. You’re not drawn to their body—you’re drawn to their being. You see the way they carry pain but still laugh. The way they take up space without crowding others. The way your heart aches not because they’re beautiful, but because something in you wants to protect them, understand them, love them back to life.

That kind of connection isn’t fleeting—it lingers. You find yourself wondering how they’re doing when they’re not around. You imagine a world with them in it, and then quickly realize you can’t imagine one without them. You don’t want them to be lonely. You don’t want them to carry burdens alone. You want to be their peace, their joy, their reason to believe in love again.

And maybe—just maybe—that’s what love at first sight really is.

Not lust. Not fantasy. But a spiritual collision. Two souls drawn together, quietly whispering to the heart, you’ve found home.

So, do I believe in love at first sight?

Yes. But not the Hollywood kind.

I believe in the kind that stops you mid-sentence—not because someone is attractive, but because your spirit just knows. Because suddenly you feel seen. You feel safe. And somehow, you already know: you want to spend your life making sure they feel that way too.
