This has been a very interesting few weeks.
Trump has lost quite the number of votes thinking he can have any woman he wants because he’s a celebrity and two of the people I care about has dealt with shitty breakups. So I can easily say it hasn’t been fun for everyone.
It makes me wonder, what chance do people have at falling in love?
Does it last?
Are you always going to be looking around wondering when the relationship is going to end?
When will they eventually tire of you and find someone else?
I don’t think people care anymore, and maybe they do. Maybe I’m wrong, but this leaves me wondering whether I want to find love. whether or not I want to put myself out there when I know nine times out of ten something is going to go wrong.
I think it’s our generation.
No longer do we care about ourselves but rather our careers and how to easily get ahead in life so much so that love just doesn’t seem important anymore.
Has dating lost its appeal?
Have we forgotten what it’s like to want to fall in love?
To put in the effort to make someone happy?
To make ourselves happy?
Why is there such a need to spend one night with a person and then leave?
To wake up while they are still sleeping, quietly put on your clothes with no good-byes and walk away?
Is that the kind of world we want future generations to grow up in?
If you feel as though being in a relationship isn’t for you, don’t get someone else’s hopes up. Don’t pretend to want what they want just so that you can spend weeks, months, years with them only to realize that you didn’t truly care in the first place, but rather you wanted to appease the other person. Don’t date someone for five or more years, call them the one only to break up and start sleeping with someone a few days later. I remember days when people used to care when men would woe women…. where conversations were over the phone or in person not on a dating app or through text.
Are we even human?
Or are we all becoming lesser versions of Donald Trump?
