The Loveless Generation

Are Millennials the Loveless Generation?

The Loveless Generation
Zero Hedge

A couple weeks ago I decided to focus on what self love is and the importance of it. But as a society, not only have we lost love for ourselves, but the idea of love overall has sort of been lost as well. The idea of loving another, and loving each other. In today's society, we've lost sight of the true meaning of love. Love is not black nor white. Love has no color. We look out for ourselves. Look out for what is best for us and us alone. But you know what we forgot is important? a 4 letter-word: love.

That old school idea of dating and relationships have changed. Millennials have technology to deal with now a days, that was not present 10 years ago. Social media has been a huge part of the differences back then and now. How the dating culture has changed and how the idea of love has changed, maybe even for the worst.

With 21st century technology and social media on the rise, millennials have a whole new world of ways to communicate and converse. That person-to-person affect can happen through the phone with the click of a button. It is no longer the same. If you want to talk to someone within one second you are able to reach that person. Social media, although has done a lot of good, has also done harm to relationships in general. That "old school" love, really has disappeared nowadays. And it really is a shame because it is something we should be going back to. The idea of a true face-to-face conversation. Not just through the phone, or on media outlets.

With all these new forms of communication, that personable affect has been lost. Maybe it is time to bring it back. Because this idea of love and relationships has a whole new meaning in this day and age then it did a few years back. So maybe next time you want to talk to someone, don't just send a text. Bring back the face-to-face aspect. It is a lot better then looking into a phone screen after all.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
