Commitment seems to have become a word that is no longer in the dictionary for young adults and teens who are dating this day in age.
Everyone is "just talking."
Relationships are hard to come by and when they do come around commitment is even harder to find. Now, many relationships fail due to one person not being able to fully commit to the other. This is eventually just going to backfire and hurt them later on.
Love is a word that gets thrown around too easily. People say ‘I love you’ without even truly know what love is. Then they fall faster and love even harder. This will ultimately lead to heartbreak.
People get too scared of an actual relationship once things start getting too serious. When they are happy and start thinking about the future they run away from what could be instead of going for what is right in front of them. For some reason, the person who cares the most always gets pushed away due to the fear to commit.
Something about this scares people.
It scares them to know that someone will always be by their side. It scares them to know that someone cares about them more than they care about themselves. It scares them that they could be looking their forever right in the eyes.
Instead of being scared to commit we, as a generation, need to go for what we want. No more games. No more playing. No more fooling around. And please, no more "talking."
"Talking" has become the downfall of modern relationships. It is a middle ground that no one really knows the rules of. You do not know if someone is really off limits because they are "talking" to someone else. There are so many unknown questions and gray area within "talking" that is it time we just stop. If you have feelings for someone commit to them do not just "talk" to them. If you do not have feelings for someone end it, do not just "talk" to someone for the sake of always having someone around to go to for your own personal needs.
Putting your heart out to someone can be scary, but in the end, it can be worth it and if you do not go for it, you will never know. You will be stuck wondering in that what could have been instead living in the what is.
In the end, if you want to be with someone go for it.
Tell that girl you want to take her on a date.
Tell that boy you have had a crush on him from the first day you saw him.
You never know what could be until you take a leap of faith and erase the fear to commit.
