"Distance from the ones we love" because getting hurt, well... hurts, and not many things can help fix this hurt. But then, distance hurts in of its own and thus provides no real salvation, just being stuck in an endless loop of shitty relationships that are endless and fucking emotionally draining.
No, today's society is a bullshit area in which everyone lives electronically. Saying "I love you" is sent through emails and slapped on to pretty much every idiot with a pulse in order for the one who says it to not break the person's spirits by alluding to some kind of lesser connection than love. I think this bullshit generation of people needs to turn off the laptops and go outside for a change and maybe, just maybe go on a real date.
Yes, I sound like a hypocrite typing about this on an online blog, and not helping the case any, but if you think about it, the generation I am sadly a part of defines love through a stupid relationship. No. Love is much more than what these children know, it's supposed to be unconditional in its passion and actions, but this generation loves only if they are loved in return.
The lucky ones, the ones that managed to grab a hold of a love so strong and so limitless are the ones who quickly turned bitter and cynical after the piece of heaven slid through their fingers. In a society in which you're either loving the hell out of everyone or hating everything there is little room for any middle ground. Getting hurt makes one turn bitter and reserved, which is again, socially unacceptable for a society that is brought up on Prozac and Paxil (WHICH now is known for some bad-ass side-effects). It's fantastic.
Oh and there's the part of people that let go of a love that was unconditional for some 'wine and a moan' and then realized "Oh Shit! I'm a dumbass" when it was a bit too late to take it back. Again, my advice is turn off the cellphone, shut down the laptop, unplug the TV and GO OUT.
Remember going out? Like we did when we were children? No prompting just "Can so-and-so come out and play?" and ended up messing around playing hide and seek or tag until we couldn't stand anymore. Remember how well we slept as children? Now we're a world of insomniacs that inhale anything in the form of melatonin and Xanax . What has the world come to?
