They say love is one of the greatest feelings in the world, and for many, it is.
Some say love saved them from life itself, and others claim that love saved them from death. Some, however, will argue that WiFi did the exact same thing.
There are some surprising similarities between the feeling in the air and the connection in the air, and here are just a few.
There's a password.
And if there's not one, it's probably not as strong of a connection. You have to woo the person you're with to get that password, to get them to let you in, but once you have it, it's yours for as long as it remains the same. When you want to love someone, you do what they need you to do. Similarly for WiFi, we find ourselves crawling down the dormitory hallway moving closer to the router. We go to McDonald's because that's where our love (and WiFi) like to go. We learn their password and we hold it close, not giving it to anyone else so as not to lessen the strength of your connection in heart and in signal.
The strength varies.
Sometimes, no matter how many times you raise your laptop to the ceiling, closest to the magical router box that brings you happiness, nothing is enough. And then other times you're driving down the highway and your phone goes off asking if you want to connect. What does this mean? Why is the WiFi so elusive and yet so available when you least expect it? Can the same be said for love? The strength varies and it's never where we expect it to be, sometimes not even at Starbucks, where love and WiFi should always be one in the same.
Sometimes it goes away.
This is so hard to cope with, I know. You sit down to have a lovely evening of Netflix and/or chill and then all of a sudden, out of the blue, you're left with no connection and a blank face staring at a black screen, wondering what went wrong. Sometimes WiFi (I mean love) just up and leaves you. I guess it doesn't think you need it enough or want it enough. Maybe you take it for granted, and sometimes you never learn the real reason why it disappeared. Sometimes you're the one who turned it off because you just "needed some space." Whatever the case, there is seldom a resolution no matter how many times you call IT.
There's always a chance of catching something.
Whether that be a virus (in more than one way) or something more serious (multiple puns intended), it's always a good idea to protect yourself. Advocate healthy hearts and healthy hard drives when it comes to love and WiFi. Protect yourself from the eventual heartache that can come from a "strong connection" gone wrong. Virus protection and armor around your heart should do you some good because love and WiFi both come with their risks.
Take heart and take caution.
