I guess Halsey really did say it best. She, I, you, and everyone else... We’re all really bad at love.

But, you can’t blame us for trying.

There’s no simple or better way to put it. We suck at giving and receiving love. We act like commitment and even just trying to get to know someone is an impossible feat.

I don’t know about you, but I love listening to my grandparents talk about falling in love and getting married at 17 years old and spending their lives together. That doesn’t really happen anymore. Everyone is all about the hit it and quit it these days which is absolutely fine, but at some point, we all need to grow up because I know for damn sure at the end of the day, you’re not happy. You may lie and say you are, but you’re not.

Something is missing in your life. What fun is meeting new people every day that you can’t even have a conversation with because you don’t click? I get it, as human beings we are meant to love and connect with multiple people but we can’t even do that anymore. This generation just cannot get it right.

Yes, I’m young woman who wants to travel and change the world and make a difference but I want someone by my side to be there for it all and personally, I think we all need to suck it the hell up. What’re you afraid of? Are you afraid of getting hurt? Oh well, you’ll be okay. That’s what life is all about; taking chances and finding whatever it is that makes you happy including in love which means a lot of the time, you may be completely miserable up until you find that one person that can turn everything around for you just by actually being around for you. Are you afraid that you can’t settle down with one person?

That’s fine, have an open relationship.

Learn to love who you can love. Figure it out. I mean c’mon guys, get it together. I’m sick of hearing everyone say that they give up on love. Love is such a gift. I hope that day I am able to explain to my children what love is. I hope that I can sit them down and tell them about the amazing person that I fell in love with and yeah, maybe we aren’t together anymore, but look at everything they showed me. Look at everything they taught me in my life.

Love is such a precious thing. It’s something that you get to have in this very short life to help numb the pain of everything else. Why would you throw it all away?
