A blind vision

Sometimes when i sit here online, I'm thinking for myself "is love really blind?"
Since i'm a totaly blind guy myself, i see no reason not to question the saying.
After being single for a few years, I'm starting to believe there is no such thing as blind love, not when it comes to the crunch.
I have often thought about why people are so affraid of things that are just a slight difference, and worst of all, why people judge me even before a contact is truely established.
for example, when you read about a person being blind, you start to think about that person as someone who needs constant help with everything, from personal things to just take a walk.
in other words you think "if he/she is blind - can't do anything".
sounds unfair right?
Sadly, its the typical attitude in the sighted world, where visual attraction is everything, or at least it feels that way for me sometimes.
If there is any funny side to all this, its the fact that its just an attitude made by sighted people who doesn't see through the visual attraction because of their own narrow minds.
To bust this "myth" wide open, i'm going to expose myself to a point where you can get an insight in a blind guys life.
First of all, if the attitude/myth was true, i wouldn't sit here in front of this computer and writing this post. Thanks to accessibility programs and components such as braille displays and screen reader programs, i can allmost do the same things online as sighted people does, hang out on facebook, sending tweets, even playing online games.
As for my day to day tasks, there is an explanation for how i can do those by myself as well.
When i grew upp, i was told from early age to be independent which i'm thankful for.
when i was 12 yrs old, i took the train by myself to a totaly unfamiliar city with totaly different surroundings.
At first i was a bit unsure how to tackle it all but i realized, all i needed to do is asking for directions or asking for help to get to the right places.
That was a breakthrough for me that inspired me to take it a step further.
Next thing i did, was to move out from home at the age of 20 to an apartment of my own.
The only help i used was some pieces of accessible equipment when cooking and cleaning, that was all.
now, about 17 years later, i'm quite confident and I sometimes take on challenges that sighted people never think i can do, such as trying to take photos with my phone, ok, they might not be good ones, but i concider it as a nice thing to try and i know not all blind people are that sort of "brave" or independent as i am.
The bottom line for this post is: love can be blind because sight is not everything.
