Many of us don't genuinely compare true love, but we draw similarities from films and television shows. Doesnt that make you think? Do you ever wonder why people seem to have bought into an idea of love, which is designed for amusement?
Social media impacts our perceptions of true love and what it should look like. Let's have a look at some of the tools it employs.
High passion: This is defined as ensuring that your partnership is satisfied every day. It means that both partners are entirely satisfied with their relationship at all times. Each person is constantly filled with butterflies for the other. This is just one aspect of your union when you truly fall in love and are a member of a solid relationship. You'll have off-days and days when you'd rather share something emotionally with each other than physically. You'll have days when you don't want to talk at all. True love is when you can sit in a room with someone and be at ease in silence.
Romance: It's all about the romance in the movies: the flowers, the fancy dinners, the mansion and valuing your life over his. It's critical to value romance. Small things, on the other hand, are what keep it going. It's something that both parties should work on. Do you get up early to say your goodbyes before he goes for work? When he arrives home, do you get a kiss? Even after courtship, if you practice simple things, the spark will stay. It's up to you both to keep it alive.
The "nomeansyes" trope: This is a difficult one. It's difficult because social media has discovered a technique to persuade us to believe in an idea that is neither pragmatic nor realistic. We have a tendency to believe that the one person with whom our timing was off, the one who slipped away, would someday return to us.
Wouldn't someone who is so ideal for you find a method to communicate with you? Yes, there are times when this genuinely works. However, it's definitely better to let someone leave with no expectations for the future. Allow the last chapter to come to a close and look forward to the next. There's a reason for everything. Perhaps the pages in your book that were set aside for the person have ran out. You should allow yourself to consider a re-read if the stars mysteriously align.
The perfect person: Sorry to break it to you, but this is also a myth. Why? Because there is no such thing as a flawless human. We see flawless portrayals of individuals in the media because a playwright has painstakingly crafted them. This could be their idealised version of what someone should be. There is a fact that you should quit looking for someone who is perfect in every way. Are you flawless? Look for someone whose goals and values align with yours. Most crucial, aim for a relationship where you can adore each other's great as well as unfavorable aspects. Love is accepting each other's flaws as well.
For us, social media generates illusions. We cling to illusions that help us build our ideals and notions about what love should be like. Let go of those illusions. Love is more about acts than it is about the flawless picture. Perhaps we should take a different approach.
Instead of waiting for them to make the first move, if you truly love someone, you should be bold enough to take action, to make the grand gesture at the end of the movie, and to profess your love. Instead of ideals, perhaps what we should take away from social media is the power to find answers and take control.
