In today’s dating world, you know
someone’s life on Facebook or Instagram than they share to you on text messages
or conversations. Relationships today are not much of paying attention to what
we’re saying or what we do or even who our friends are. It’s no longer paying attention to the things we do privately but the
things we share with the world.
I don’t want to have important
conversations over texts and share live moments via Insta stories and video
calls. I want to have deep conversations looking into someone’s eyes and I want
to experience moments holding someone’s hand. I don’t want a connection over
the internet! I don’t want to turn down dates because I am stuck with work, and
I give myself an excuse not to fall in love with somebody.
I need to stop telling myself that
timing is not right and finally take the leap of chance to fall into someone. I
need to stop being afraid of labels or getting too close, of actually being
loved. I need to finally understand the beauty of commitment and the value of
love. I need to stop running and start giving chances. But until I get over the routine of a 21st century kind of
love; easily replaced and forgotten, I don’t think I would be opening up my
heart any sooner.
