This one is dramatic. Listen, I don’t know where the hell I stand on all these horoscopes, zodiacs, and compatibility tests. Of course I have taken a moment and read them all, more than once. I still continue to give them a moment of my time. If I don’t like what they say, I will completely dismiss it because how could some robot know about what is really going on in my life? I do know where I stand on heartbreak. I know that heartbreak sucks. I think that I am a good person. By nature I am also a very competitive person. I love very hard and openly. I am stubborn, but always working on that. I make lots of mistakes. I have had my heart broken and it will happen again. I don’t think there are rules in this whole game of love. In fact I don’t think it is a game at all. Maybe that is where it has all gone wrong. We have reached a point where we don’t take the time to give anyone our undivided attention. Of course I could sit here and type out a million times that I too have been guilty of sitting at a table and on my Instagram or Facebook and simply not present with the other person. I have been more excited to receive, ‘likes’ on my location than converse with a person. Social media has opened the flood gates to being bad to one another. A quick dick pic, a drunken Facebook message, a Snapchat to someone you shouldn’t. There isn’t any shame in how we behave, because it’s just a random person. It didn’t really happen, it isn’t really cheating or wrong, is it? I sort of miss the idea of how it used to be. When I would watch films as a kid and the characters would call ‘home’ phone numbers and waited to see each other at school to flirt and hold hands. When breakups happened, they were face to face and everyone cried and sad music played. When the script called to give your lover another chance. A real solid second chance. A time when you didn’t have the fantasy or distraction of endless porn sites and people exposing themselves with a stroke of a key on an iPhone. A time when you didn’t ever feel the need to check someones web history. I always give someone a chance. I am a hopeless romantic yes, and not everyone is. But wouldn’t that be nice? To go on a date, doing something completely random and just being with that someone completely. Put your stupid phone down when you are with another person. Your Instagram can wait, and that Snapchat isn’t going anywhere. Be with that human right in front of you and have a little realness again. Life is too short and the grass will never be greener than it is today.
