We all have that one person we don't take for granted, that one person we always want happy, that one person we're always worried about, that one person we always yearn to talk to, that one person we treasure a whole lot regardless of who they are to us. The feeling is always the same; regardless of our relationship with them, we all feel this way towards that one person. For you it might be a relative or that one guy or girl you met sometime ago or not too long ago, but regardless of who they are to us, they represent one symbol to us, which is that they are the apple of our eye.
In the current world we live in, where there are fleeting connections and casual relationships, having that person who occupies a special place in our heart is something we shouldn’t take for granted. This person serves as an anchor in our lives, and they play an important role that we often overlook the impact they have in our lives.
The Origin of "Apple of Your Eye": More Than Just a Saying
The "apple of your eye" isn't just an old saying—it's that person who commands your focus, who you see with perfect clarity even when everything else feels blurry. The term itself goes back centuries; it was originally meant to depict the pupil of the eye, which is considered the most precious and protected part of the body; not even a drop of water comes close to it without being met with resistance. How fitting that we use this phrase for the people we cherish most.
These relationships shape us in profound ways. They push us to become better versions of ourselves, not through pressure or expectation, but through the simple desire to be worthy of the love they so freely give. They create safe spaces where we can be utterly vulnerable without fear of judgment. They celebrate our victories as if they were their own and help shoulder our burdens when they become too heavy.
In celebrating these special connections, we should also recognize an essential truth: that we are not meant to journey through life alone. That our hearts have an incredible capacity to hold certain people in a place of honor and love. That even in our most independent moments, we are beautifully, wonderfully interdependent.
Beyond Traditional Relationships: Who Becomes the Apple of Our Eye?
The really fascinating thing about those people we call the Apple of Our Eyes is how this connection transcends traditional relationship boundaries.
- Parents whose wisdom continues to guide them well into adulthood.
- A sibling who is annoying 90% of the time, but they know your entire life story, and they’re always going to be there for you 10% of the time when they’re not annoying.
- A friend who entered your life unexpectedly but quickly became indispensable.
- That one person whose presence makes everything else fade into the background.
Regardless of who that person is, the connection doesn’t care and it doesn’t matter what your relationship with that person is, all that matters is how you feel about that person.
How to identify the Apple of Your Eye
What makes these connections even more precious is their rarity. In a lifetime, we may only have a handful of people who truly qualify as the apple of our eye.
- The ones who know exactly what to say when you're on the verge of giving up.
- The ones who know how much you hate those little unnecessary things.
- The ones who make an effort not because they have to, but because making you happy brings them joy.
- That person whose smile can instantly brighten your darkest day. (maybe that is exaggerating it a little bit, but they’re the ones you want around when you’re having the worst of days)
- The ones who make you laugh, and when you’re around them.
- The ones you’re genuinely comfortable and happy to be in their presence.
- The ones you call when it’s not going according to plan
I can go on and on but only you know who these people are and how they make you feel. So as you read this, take a moment to think about who represents the apple of your eye. When was the last time you told them how much they mean to you? Not just in grand gestures, but in the small, everyday moments that ultimately define our relationships.
Because in life's chaotic journey, these are the connections worth protecting. The relationships are worth prioritizing. The people worth showing up for, time and time again. And perhaps the most magical thing of all? You are almost certainly the apple of someone else's eye too. Someone out there is thinking of you right now, grateful for your presence in their life, treasuring the unique bond you share.
So cherish your person. Protect them. Choose them over and over again. Because the apple of your eye isn't just someone you love—they're someone who has helped shape the very lens through which you see the world.
