Just saw this post—so well said a must-read
Relationships aren’t breaking because love is lost—they’re breaking because people have forgotten what love actually means. Conversations have turned into dry texting, where emotions are buried beneath delayed replies and unsaid words. Arguments don’t get resolved, just abandoned mid-call, left hanging in a space where apologies never come. Love—a word that once held depth—now gets thrown around like a habit, stripped of its meaning. We’ve made insecurities normal, jealousy routine, and trust something rare, yet we still wonder why everything feels so temporary. And maybe that’s the real problem—leaving has become easier than staying.
We live in a time where people crave deep love but don’t want to do the work it takes to keep it alive. The moment things get hard, they start looking for exits instead of solutions. Love isn’t about perfection, it’s about effort—but effort scares people now. They want the feeling of love without the responsibility of it. They want passion without patience, commitment without sacrifice. But love that doesn’t withstand struggle was never love to begin with. Because love isn’t just how you feel about someone on the good days—it’s about how you show up for them on the worst ones.
So if you have something real, hold onto it. Nurture it. Fight for it. Because love isn’t something you just find, it’s something you build. And if you’re lucky enough to have someone willing to stand beside you, through the miscommunication, the doubts, the hard conversations—don’t let them go. Don’t let pride or fear or temporary frustration make you lose something that could have been everything. Regret doesn’t come from the fights you had—it comes from the love you didn’t fight for.
