Relationship Failure

WHY DO RELATIONSHIPS FAIL?

When you first initiate the ''love'',
you cant sleep without calling and
texting that one person. You
suddenly render everyone else a
little less important. Your days just
got brighter. You love your
boyfriend. You love that girl and in
your minds, you've found your soul
 mate. But where does it all go
wrong coz am sure nearly everyone
 has a sad love story to tell. ''all he
 wanted was sex'' ''he couldn't give
 me attention'' ''she's a gold
 digger'' ''she cheated'' ''he's a
 childish flirt'' ''i thought i knew him
 or her'' the reasons are plenty.

You see, WE ARE THE PRACTICAL
GENERATION. We believe in learning
 by doing. Most relationships are
 only existing because of the
 ''physical benefits''. Desire is the
 driving force. As a result,
 selfishness and insecurity are glued
 to the relationships.

We believe in calling and texting as
an expression of love, trust and
faithfulness as compared to
physical company. Social media is
the source of relationships. We chat
 day in and out about everything
 such that when we meet, we do not
 have anything to talk about. Now
 after the blissful moments of
 intimacy, you start feeling like its a
 prison. You do not have anything
 more to say. If its a guy, you go
 back to social media to hunt again
 leaving her heart broken.

We are the classy generation where
 physical appearance is considered
 more than emotional maturity. The
 ''beautiful'' girls are hard to get
 unless you drive or can sponsor her
 hair. They love the rich kids who
 love their bodies. Church guys or
 girls are called boring. You must
 have ''swag'' to date someone.

Programs have replaced passion.
Love is highly mechanical and
nudity is called art. We nolonger
follow the heart. Its just a matter of
 time for it all is a slow fade. Its a
 ticking time bomb. 

Does anybody
 here truly love? Please teach me.
