Competing for Connection in the Maze of Modern Romance
The problem with love these days is that we either love wholeheartedly or we hold back fully. It’s as if we’re all playing poker, placing our hearts and cards on the table, hoping that someone would genuinely appreciate our authentic selves. On the other hand, some of us are too afraid or hurt to open up, like a turtle hidden in its shell, in a society where true relationships and acceptance appear to be as uncommon as hen’s teeth.
Nowadays, navigating the dating landscape is like running a marathon without a map, or attempting to find your way out of a convoluted maze. Everyone appears wary, and ghosting is as frequent as a wet day in Seattle. As a result, actually getting to know someone can take long, or worse, may never happen.
We frequently believe that there are lots of fish in the water, yet the love we actually crave is often there in front of us, like that cosy café where everyone knows your name. However, we give up too quickly and keep our genuine sentiments hidden. We have a tendency to ignore people who actually care about us in favour of those who merely give us crumbs of attention. The problem with love is that our culture has made it as difficult as a Rubik’s cube, while it should be as simple as pie.
Genuine love is comfortable and safe, like a cosy comforter on a cold winter’s night. It’s about selecting someone even when the going gets tough and things aren’t going as planned. It’s about collaboration and camaraderie, celebrating life’s highs and enduring the lows like surfers facing storm waves. Sparks, laughing, compassion, and security are the heartbeats of love.
Sure, love may be as frightening as being on the top of a roller coaster, experiencing the surge of uncertainty. But isn’t it worth taking that leap of faith, exposing your heart, and knowing you’ve genuinely loved, rather than looking back with regret and wondering whether you ever gave it a fair chance?
Take care.
