i don’t see honesty, loyalty and trust in relationships anymore. relationships have become so fucked up these days that it’s hard not to be paranoid about getting close to someone because of past experiences. too many people have fallen in love, out of it, then get scarred by it. too many people get hurt by love once, &can never fully trust anyone ever again. our generation has been conditioned to fix relationship problems by breaking up &by ending marriages in divorce. the other day, i heard this guy say, “and if the marriage doesn’t work out, i can always get a divorce.”

what the fuck? really?

maybe i’m a hopeless romantic. maybe i watch too much of One Tree Hill, or Disney movies. whatever the case may be, love & relationships just seem so much more worthwhile in fictional settings.

how many couples can honestly say that their relationships would be more than okay after a day of switching phones with their respective significant others? how many couples can genuinely trust each other?

i’ve seen people give up on someone they love because they just couldn’t take anymore. they let the bad times outweigh the good, they brought out the worst in each other, they couldn’t remember why it was they fell in love. so instead, they just walked away from it instead of fighting for it. i don’t know about y’all, but when/if i get married, it’ll be for keeps - i’m not divorcin shit. &i hope to god my future husband will feel the exact same way. i’ve experienced, seen &heard so many instances of unfaithful boyfriends/girlfriends that maybe i’ve lost hope in our generation. i pray that one day someone can change that for me.
