Why "Talking" Is Just Stupid

Why "Talking"  Is Just Stupid
www.cuded.com

There once was a time when ones relationship status provided one of two options:

1. Single

2. Taken

Well, in today's generation, we have created another pointless option if you ask me... "talking." One day I found myself trying to explain to my mother what exactly this talking new-school era thing is, but then suddenly, realized how dumb I sounded when I could not find the words. The conversation basically went like this:

Mom: So what is "talking" exactly?

Me: Well, it's the in-between stage of dating (a.k.a.) getting to know someone.

Mom: Is that person considered your boyfriend/girlfriend?

Me: The two people act like they're are in a relationship, but are still free to do whatever.

I left the conversation feeling as if I were born in the wrong generation, wishing I grew up in a time where people were straightforward and to the point. Ya know, no grey areas? It is because "talking" that people have serious trust issues when it comes to dating. Fear and love cannot occupy the same space, therefore that is often why no one ever moves past the talking stage.

"Talking" is stupid because it builds up walls. People make promises in the moment and end up breaking them. "Talking" is stupid because it causes insecurities. "Talking" is stupid because getting out of the "talking" stage is complicated. "Talking" is stupid because the conversation of "what are we?" shouldn't intimidate you. If you want to be in a relationship with me, then grow a pair of balls and properly ask me to be your girlfriend. "Talking" is stupid because everyone claims they want loyalty or just want someone who's down, but 9 times out of 10 they're most likely full of BS. Most importantly "talking" is stupid because it leads to nowhere.

What is the point of investing your time in someone if you cannot grow and build with them? This generation is so confused on the idea of love that we're willing to be in the "talking" stage instead of waiting it out for someone who will let us where we stand.

You should not have to question where you stand with someone in any relationship and if you do it's most likely going nowhere. #dontwastemytime2016

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.
