Love is on its deathbed.
Protect your pure heart at all costs.
Love is a natural occurrence that will eventually happen in all of our lives. Well, for most of us—aromantic people exist. Nevertheless, I believe that most of you folks reading this are familiar with the concept of romance—a deep connection with someone whom you're already imagining having 2 kids, beautiful house and a pet dog. Truly a beautiful concept, right? Well, I've been wondering if our youth appreciates this chemical reaction enough.
True love is subjective. Each person has their own definition of it. Some define it with passion, some define it mutual understanding, some define with over-the-top caretaking. And because of this I believe that some definitions of love are inferior to others. One of which I dislike the most is the hyper-sexualised form of love. This type of love depends solely on the temporary sexual pleasure one gets from their partner. And while this is completely okay if it's in the right dose, many people tend to go too far with it.
In my opinion, in today's day and age people have completely forgotten the actual meaning of love and has believed that degeneracy is the way to go. To put it shortly, couples are making love more than showing love. It feels like couples no longer have anything to talk about other than what their genitals will do, that makes me angry. If I can't talk about normal topics with my beloved, if I can't discuss certain topics with my fiancé then what is the sole purpose of getting in a relationship? Sex? No! I can get in as much intimacy as I want by calling a prostitute. But what differs a prostitute and a soulmate is that a soulmate isn't purely there to satisfy your sexual needs. It's there to show support, show that they care, show that they're on your side. But today's youth don't care about this. The number of true lovers are getting fewer everyday. And here's the “plot twist”:
This is actually a good thing.
The shortage of true love in our society is a blessing in disguise. Because of this, people who have achieved it will be able to value it even more now, thanks to the degenerates who think true connection only involves genitals and malicious intent.
Immature love says: “I love you because I need you.” Mature love says: “I need you because I love you.”
