How shitty to live in an age where lack of commitment became fashionable, where not wanting anything serious crept into bed and replaced late-night phone conversations.
Oh, the sign of the times! It’s like temptation has hit the gym and bulked up, turning into a buff, irresistible force. With a sea of potential partners at our fingertips, the age-old challenge of staying loyal in a committed relationship feels like a Herculean task. Gone are the days of just a few cute faces at the office or some dashing neighbours to resist. Instead, we’ve got a buffet of options!
It’s as if monogamy and loyalty have packed their bags and taken a holiday, leaving our traditional notions of love and commitment gasping for air.
Those epic, 60-year love stories like our parents had?
They’re becoming rarer than a unicorn sighting!
In their place, we’ve got a new cast of characters: polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, and “intimacy without strings.” It’s enough to make you scratch your head and say, “What on earth is happening?!?”
“How shitty to live in an age where we’re all options, where you have to earn your place and anyway, at any moment, you’ll end up thrown in the trash.
How shitty to live in an age of pure likes and instant messages, where first dates end between the sheets and giving flowers is a thing of the past.
How shitty to live in an age where no one falls in love at first sight anymore, with plazas that look empty and alleys that no longer write romantic legends.
How shitty to live in an age where mediocrity is the main attraction of relationships, because we all have an ace up our sleeve, or rather, another person waiting their turn.
How shitty to live in an age where people forget easily and we’ve become disposable, wasting so much on ourselves that fidelity has become a myth, no one believes in it anymore. That’s it.
How shitty to live in a time where few dare to love and give their all, because it seems like a better option to hide our hearts for fear of getting hurt.
How shitty to live in a time where no one reads poetry anymore, where you win someone over with memes and meaningless images, and being with someone lasts as long as a summer sunset.
How shitty to live in a time where serenades are no longer heard; we’ve sunk so low that they call you an idiot for sending letters, drawing, singing, and giving away moments.
How shitty to live in a time where we scare love and take away its right to make our lives less shitty.”
-Emmanuel Zavala
Hey, middle-agers and silver foxes alike, remember the good ol’ days before smartphones and laptops turned dating into a digital circus?
Back then, meeting someone was as simple as bumping into them at the local hangout. Now, we’re clicking and swiping out of sheer desperation for connection. Those classic love stories are like unicorns these days—rare but possible if both parties are on the same romantic page. But beware! If anyone dared to peek into their partner’s phone, they’d likely be hit with a tidal wave of “secret” connections, texts, pics, and flirty banter, leading straight to heartbreak hotel. Let’s face it, no one wants their partner going full detective on their phone, right? LOL!
But wait, there’s more! When things go haywire at the top of society, it trickles down like a messy spill. With zero core values up there, it’s a no-rules, all-greed playground, changing civilizations faster than you can say “Google why civilizations crumble!” Meanwhile, half the world lives on less than a dollar a day, while the richest 1% are swimming in 90% of the wealth. The four wealthiest Americans alone have more riches than 4 billion people combined. Yikes!
We’ve got some colossal issues, folks. It’s a messy world out there, and when we see the state of our youth, our entertainment, even our dating scene, it’s like looking in a societal mirror.
Not great news for those of us hopeless romantics still clinging to this rock!
We want to feed you!
