Have you ever had that moment when you see something so beautiful, so perfect, that your heart skips a beat and your brain immediately starts whispering, “What if?” It doesn’t happen often—life keeps us too busy with practical things like bills, chores, and grocery lists—but every once in a while, something breaks through all that noise and grabs you right by the heart.
That’s exactly what happened when I came across a photo of the most breathtaking horse I’ve ever seen. He’s strong, elegant, and carries himself like he knows exactly how magnificent he is. His name, fittingly enough, is Romeo. And believe me, the name suits him. One look at that flowing mane, that proud stance, those intelligent eyes, and—well, I was smitten. Utterly, hopelessly smitten.
Now, don’t breathe a word of this to my husband. I’m not sure how he’d take the news that he’s been replaced, at least in my daydreams, by a four-legged heartthrob with feathers on his legs. But truly, Romeo looks like he stepped right out of a fairytale. The kind of horse that makes you imagine riding through misty meadows at sunrise or standing together under an old oak tree while violins play softly in the distance.
Of course, there’s one small hitch—he’s way out of my price range. (We’re talking “win the lottery first” territory.) So I’ll just admire him from afar, sigh dramatically now and then, and maybe make him my new computer wallpaper.
P.S. — All donations are accepted. Just kidding! Don’t you dare.
P.P.S.S. — I just found out he’s not even for sale anyway. Phew! I’m safe—temporarily at least. But still… a girl can dream, right?
Because sometimes love at first sight isn’t about practicality—it’s about beauty that reminds your soul to dream again.
