Call me old fashioned but...

I am looking for something more meaningful than Snapchat streaks and retweets.

I am looking for someone who cares more about experiences and making memories then material things.

I don't think that these things should be old fashioned, but yet somehow in today's society, they are. They are so very rare. I don't want to celebrate a year's Snapchat streak with someone but yet have never had a conversation with them face to face. I don't want a million Instagram likes on the selfie I posted in my new shirt.

I want deep conversations about the future, hobbies, fears, and people's families. I want to go to a concert and sing every word to every song with loved ones surrounding me. I want to jump off that cliff and not think twice. I want to be careless and free, not tied down to our cell phones and social media.

Relationships, as well as friendships, have changed throughout the years. Nothing is the way it used to be.

Today, it is rare but I want,

Exclusive, loving relationships where you meet each other's parents and siblings. When you go out to dinner and laugh until your stomach hurts. Even just driving around without a destination, blaring the radio, and singing on the top of your lungs.

Not, "Oh my gosh!! He finally liked my selfie!" or "It was two in the morning and he asked me to come over! So I went!"

Instead, I want, "He brought me flowers after work." or "We talked about our goals and future careers until two in the morning."

Call me old fashioned but....

I want girl friends who I can have a girls night with and watch movies. I want to sit, eat ice cream, and gossip about boys. I don't want to go out every night and get trashed. I don't want to go out and party all of the time with random people. I want nights that are filled with my best friends by my side, laughing until we cry. Sleepovers, slumber parties, whatever you want to call them. I want them back.

Also, I want boy and girl friendships to be just that. A friendship. I want to be able to go out with my guy friends without everyone assuming that I have a "thing" with one of them. I want to be able to spend time with my guy friends without getting stared at by other girls. I want to have guy best friends without people asking me if they are my boyfriend.

Every friendship can be just that. A friendship. Nothing more, nothing less.

Call me old fashioned but... those are my thoughts. That is how I wish things still were.

Call me old fashioned but... I want to have some meaning in my life. I know what I deserve, and I won't settle for anything less than that.
