“What is love, if not a contest?”
All of us want to be loved, want to feel alive, want attention. Isn’t it?
But, do we care about reciprocating the same feelings to our other halves, or partners?
We often ask this question, to ourselves, our friends & family.
Why is it so hard for us to keep the love alive and how not to fall out of it?
We all have this thought, at least once. Like why?
Why is it so hard loving someone?
What all does it take to have a successful relationship?
Maybe a simpler answer to this is, we aren’t ready.
We aren’t ready, for compromises, sacrifices, for the unconditional love.
We aren’t ready to invest time.
We want things easy, so basically. We are quitters.
We never let our love grow, we let go before time.
We don’t look for love, we look for, um… Excitement. Thrill. Pleasure.
“oh this person is so adventurous, I like him.”
“oh this girl is so good in bed, I want her.”
That’s what we do, and when, this excitement fades, we fall out of love.
We. Simply. Fall. Out. Of. Love.
We Google 5 ways to impress him, 6 ways to know if she’s interested,
but, do we ever, ever make an effort to simply be ourselves?
We just never believe in the beauty of.. predictability, because, we are always too thrilled by the adventure.
We immerse ourselves in the inconsequentials of the city life, that we never make space for love.
We don’t have patience to deal with relationships. We get tired. We get bored.
We all are basically a bunch of materialistic people, looking for true love.
We swipe right & left on tinder, believe in hit & trials, but never, just wait for the right person to come. We want to find our soulmates, our better halves, but do we ever make an effort to keep them, or even value their presence in our lives?
We look for instant gratification- the things we post online, the careers we choose, and of course, the people we fall in love with.
Some people even want a relationship just for the sake of Instagram #couplegoals. We are so immersed in this life that, we forgot the real meaning of love.
We want our relationship to be successful, we ask hundreds of people, we read lots of books, listen to vlogs, on how to have a perfect relationship? But, the answer lies within us. We can make promises, but we can’t make commitments. I mean that is really contradicting. What are we really confused about?
We want the maturity in a relationship that comes with time,
the emotional connect that develops in years,
and that sense of belonging, when we barely even know that person.
apparently, when nothing works out, we conclude-
“he wasn’t worth my time.”
“she didn’t deserve me at all.”
So basically- we mean, nothing is worth out time and patience- not even love
Technology, bought us closer. Definitely.
So close that, our physical presence gets replaced by texts, calls, voice messages.
We express our love on calls, and never on the face of that person.
We are the generation of ‘wanderers’. We all are.. um, commitment phobic.
We never want to settle down. We cannot just be with one person, and when we think of that it seems scary.
Then, after walking away from them, what do we call it, “nothing is forever”?
We are our own evil.
We don’t know how to love, we run our lives so much by logic that sometimes its surprising that how practical we have become.
“he lives really far, I can’t go see him.”
“we broke up because, long distance isn’t easy, never works.”
Man, I have seen people travelling miles for just one sight of their partner.
Too sensible?
For our own good, maybe.
You know, without even realizing, we have let go off so many beautiful people, just because we were looking for other fishes in the sea.
We call it, evolution.
