Love Then & Now

Society Today

This is a question so many people ask, what is love?. Most today think that love is how you feel when you eat your favorite food, see someone attractive, the way someone makes you feel or pretty much so many things today. Love comes in many ways to everyone, some find love in their hobbies, others in their family while others in animals and many other things. I remember growing up to me love was seeing old couples together. I used to wonder how they managed to make it that far together. At the same time wondering if they ever fought or experience hardships. I used to look at them and always said to myself "I want that someday". Most today associate with the way someone makes you feel at first. Yeah, at the beginning when you meet someone that likes the things you like or similar we both get this special feeling that is just wonderful. The feeling becomes stronger as both keep getting closer and more serious. But you'll see the true feelings when the first obstacles get in between ya. When someone else comes along and try to damage what you started or an argument starts out of nowhere.

There you get to see what your feelings are, when you think should I forgive her or him. When you wonder if this is it and you no longer want to be together. Some give up easy and fall away while most of those who do have feelings try to work it out. Most of the times it works, the fire gets rekindled and things are better. Obstacles sometimes are meant to bring you closer, it's just that some take the negativity and let it defeat them. But if we just sit back for a moment we can see that if both put their egos to the side and hold on, the storm will pass. The confusion is nothing but an illusion designed to break what might be the best thing ever. Sometimes that's all it takes to damage things, one to have doubts. Today's society relationships don't last long and people wonder why. Would you delete all your social apps you use for flirting with others just to be with the one you love? Would you stop talking to the guys or girls you flirt with to focus on one person?. To be honest most won't, many today are so used to attention that they get bored easy when they try focusing on one person. They get on social apps looking for attention or approval from others that don't really care about them. But attention comes in many ways, some are good and many bad.

Some look for attention because they feel lonely or don't get none where they live. Others because they love the attention and it makes them feel happy. I realize that today most girls get online and post sexy pics because they want to attract many guys. So all the attention they get makes them feel good, the compliments from all different types of guys. They figure that that's how they'll find the right one, the one most attractive and the one with the personality they want. One thing I've noticed is that so many guys will do anything to get the girls they want. To lead girls into falling for them and then break their hearts. Usually to get what they want, either naked pics which is the most common today or Sex. Girls think that Sex will help you keep a guy around or make him stay. Not really, what most girls don't know is that the faster you give it up the faster the guy will leave you. Why you wonder? Because it shows a guy that you are quick and all it takes is for someone to sweet talk and you'll fall right in. So it makes us think that you'll cheat if you find someone that looks better and sound more seductive and tell you what you like to hear. Because today most people can't focus on one person at a time they can't keep a relationship going. You'll always find things you like in many people and that will only keep you not knowing which way to go. Usually when you have a blessing in front of you negativity will throw you many other illusions more like your type to confuse you. So you can make that mistake and fall for the wrong guy or girl. As you keep making mistakes of falling for the wrong ones or opening up to the wrong people you start to lose yourself bit by bits. If not careful you'll lose yourself and your heart becomes cold. You no longer will know the difference between a genuine compliment to someone who is just trying to get you for their sexual pleasures. Sometimes less is more, why? Because we can see better and get to know people more. Having over 5,000 friends on Facebook or social apps is not the best at times. Too many are getting to know your business and you have no idea which of those are wolves dressed like sheep
