"The Ick Factor."

After rereading my latest posts, I couldn't help but wonder...It's certainly known that true love and romance are lackluster these days. Society has imposed and preached absurd new beliefs that I find troubling and rather reckless. It's all about the quantity, just how many individuals can you hop into bed with. And not about quality relationships and finding your true-love. Sure, you're certainly entitled to your fair share of hooking up, but has it gone too far among individuals these days? Seriously, I'm quite concerned. In the rapid progression of the disintegration of meaningful relationships based upon love and romance, it's not rocket science in determining that at this rate, quality relationships could go extinct...

Now, I would like you to really think about that for a moment...I'm just curious, do you find that thought nearly as petrifying as I find it? But, regardless of how you feel, a large percentage of individuals really don't seem to care. I'm one who honestly believes you don't know what you've got until it is gone. What has got to happen, what must we succumb to, to realize the treatment of relationships these days is pitiful and they're taken for granted? It's frivolous believing that you can be fulfilled and happy, with having your love life only consist of intimate encounters. It may not be tomorrow or the day after that, even in the next year, but reality will hit you. You'll realize you've made the improper choices for too long, it might be too late, and you'll never really know what love is...

Love is infinite and magnificent and there is nothing else like it in the world, something that we all need, whether we decide to admit it or not is irrelevant. You need love to survive and to thrive. We are not emotionally deprived beings after all...I'm not really sure what to say at this point, change among the beliefs of individuals is imperative, in my opinion. Romance should be valued and not casted aside solely because one's beliefs and their priorities are jacked up. I feel as if I'm the last dinosaur...Are my views regarding what a dignified relationship is extinct? What does the future hold for meaningful relationships? At this rate, will there even be a future in attaining quality relationships? Who really knows, let's try to make changes and gain a little perspective, take it from there and see what happens...

Have we become terribly jaded or are we just intolerant of romance, nowadays?
