Why do we always tend to choose our partner over our family or friends? Because we are deep down insecure about our partners than our family or friends, maybe. Why is it always that we try to make more efforts towards our partner and less or absolutely no efforts towards our friends? We presume that friendships doesn't need any special efforts, maybe.
Why do we always presume that we know everything about our partners and the fact that nobody knows them better than we do? Is it the same with our family members? Did we ever make an effort to know them better? Don't they all deserve our some time? Why do we ignore them on the pretext of telling ourselves that ‘it is important to spend time with our partners’?
Why is it always that your best friend or your favourite family member always complain about the fact that now you don't usually spend time with them and are always on the phone? And they often taunt you that you choose your partner over them? Why frequently it turns out that the only person you talk to your entire day is ‘your that someone’ and nobody else!! And you keep on ignoring all your other vital bonds, your studies, work and what not. This continues for some days, then it becomes months and it goes on and on...
You tell yourself that all you're doing is right on the pretext that “You are in love”. Are you really in love? Is your love that weak that it makes you ignore everything and makes you a mere puppet, doing whatever your partner asks for? You don't realise if you are any longer making sense, while talking for the 100th time that day with your "forever person".
And when unfortunately, if that relationship fails, you go back to square one! You try to again be in touch with your old buddies and your family. You expect them to console you. You expect them to understand you in every situation and you expect them to tell you that everything will be fine again. You expect them to understand your current state of mind. You expect them to be with you 24/7. You expect them to buy you ice cream and listen to your nonstop rant about your partner. You expect your family to stop asking you about your partner every time you're on a call for more than 10 minutes. You expect your friends to rant about your partner with you and tell you that you didn't deserve such a person.
Also, there's nothing wrong in demanding such things from our near and dear ones, but aren't we at fault for anticipating so much from them?
Let’s redefine a new type of romantic relationship! For instance, if we want to romanticize, then why not with our own self? Let us enjoy our own company! Self-love is regarded as an enormous form of love…It is often said that you cannot truly love someone until you know how to love ‘yourself’. There’s a different kind of solace that you experience when you enjoy being with you! We are GEN-Z, we are known to break rules and regulations of the traditional society. Let us now break this old stereotype and re-explore romance.
