The True Meaning of Love in a Generation Obsessed with Relationships

 The True Meaning of Love in a Generation Obsessed with Relationships

We live in a generation where it feels like everyone is in a relationship—sometimes with someone they love, and often with someone they don’t. But what’s the point of being with someone if there’s no genuine love at all?

Human connection is a basic need. We all want someone to laugh with, to rely on, to share life’s little moments. But that “someone” doesn’t always have to be a romantic partner. Friends can be our companions, our chosen family, the people who stay without conditions or confusion. In many cases, friendships last longer than romantic relationships because they are built on trust, understanding, and pure emotion—not convenience.

Today, casual dating, FWB, and “just talking” have been so normalized that many people don’t even know what love actually is anymore. All they know are labels without meaning and connections without depth. Honestly, this shouldn’t be normal. What’s wrong is still wrong, no matter how common it becomes.

How can it ever be okay to be with someone you’ve never loved, don’t love, and maybe never will love?

Love is one of the most beautiful experiences a person can have, yet it’s often treated like something overrated or outdated. A bad experience with the wrong person shouldn’t make us hate love itself—it only proves that timing and genuine connection matter. True love isn’t about filling loneliness or keeping up with society; it’s about deeply valuing someone when the feelings are real.

My mother always says, “Do things at the right age.” I’ve slowly begun to understand what she means. Dating is beautiful when you know how to value a relationship, when you truly care for someone. Until then, friendships are enough. They teach us loyalty, emotional depth, and what real love feels like—without the chaos.

Isn’t being the one for someone, and finding your one, the real goal? There’s no spark if we never wait for something meaningful. Waiting gives love its value. Waiting makes it special.

At the end of the day, love isn’t just romance. It’s connection, care, and sincerity. Whether through a friend or a partner, love in its purest form is timeless—and it’s always worth waiting for.

Fear of Being Abandoned

  Fear of Being Abandoned Even when life looks okay on the surface, one fear never truly leaves—the fear of being abandoned. No matter how close you get, no matter how clearly someone shows that you matter to them, there’s always a quiet thought lingering in the background. What if one day they choose someone else? What if they prioritize someone else over me? Subconsciously, you know it may not happen. They’ve shown up. They’ve stayed. They’ve made you feel important. And yet, somewhere deep inside, a familiar voice whispers—what if it happens again? This time, it feels worse. Because this person means so much more. Even the idea of being left by them is terrifying. So you try to protect yourself the only way you know how—by pulling away, creating distance, or leaving first. Because maybe it won’t hurt as much if you’re the one who walks away. It was never meant to be like this. But past trauma has a way of sneaking into the present, even when the present is bright. Why can’t we j...

"The Truth About Love: Giving Without Limits"

 “ The Truth About Love: Giving Without Limits” You know, sometimes in life, no matter how hard you try… You try to fit in — into situations, into this generation, among people you care for. You try to give them all the love you have — every little piece of it. But somehow, it never feels like enough for them. Not because your love is any less, But because… people, they always want more. And the more you give, the more they crave. It’s like a void inside them — bottomless, limitless. A hunger for love that never really gets satisfied. Sometimes, I wonder — Is all the love I give ever going to come back to me? I don’t give it with expectations, But yes, there’s a small hope deep down — That maybe, just maybe, I’ll feel it coming back the same way. But even if it doesn’t… Even if I never get it back the way I give it… It doesn’t stop me from loving. Because giving love never drains me. It doesn't make me feel empty. In fact, it fills me. "Because love is never mercurial — it’s a...

How I Stay Sane When Life Gets Messy

  How I Stay Sane When Life Gets Messy Firstly, what is optimism? Most people call it positive thinking. But for me, it’s more than that. It’s the small spark that keeps you going when life feels heavy, messy, and completely out of control. Optimism is the ability to look at the brighter side even when everything around feels dark. It’s an art—maybe even a talent—and not all of us are born with it. There are phases in life when we’re at our most vulnerable. Nothing seems to go right. Every plan we carefully made starts falling apart. In those moments, even breathing feels heavy. Yet somehow, that one optimistic thought about the situation makes the weight feel a little lighter. For me, optimism has always been a way to escape—to run from phases that were never part of my planned road. Call me delusional if you want, but I call it optimism. I choose to think of all the positive outcomes a situation could lead to. This is how I try to see the silver lining: If I score less on somethi...
