"MAYBE I'M A LOVE ATHEIST, BUT HEAR ME OUT…"
<p>Am I the only one who feels like love doesn’t feel like love anymore? Everything feels automated, robotic even transactional.</p><p><br/></p><p>Money this, money that. </p><p>Birthday wish lists. </p><p>Girlfriend’s day. </p><p>Period gift packages. </p><p>Valentine’s Day. </p><p>Anniversaries. </p><p>I mean… really?</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/6329c374a2a27f32f88f852e21ef359f.jpg"/></p><p><br/></p><p>I’m not against gifting someone you love or think you love but is that really love, or are you trying to buy affection? And for the one receiving do you truly love them, or is it just the lifestyle, the money, the gifts keeping you there?</p><p><br/></p><p>I get it, we Gen Zs have moved on from old-school romance… but why does it feel like what we now call “love” is missing the soul?</p><p><br/></p><p>Everywhere you turn, it’s gender vs. gender. </p><p>Men bash women. </p><p>Women bash men. </p><p>“Relationship experts” pulling us in every direction with hot takes and one-size-fits-all rules.</p><p><img alt="" src="/media/inline_insight_image/fde14c2cdcf40e18739fcd10ea7fb69c.jpg"/></p><p><br/></p><p>What happened to love that grew from friendship? </p><p>What happened to love letters? </p><p>The late night calls? </p><p>Simple dates? Even that one don spoil 😂.</p><p>It’s beginning to feel like if you’re not financially buoyant, you can’t even find love. Has love become a luxury for the rich?</p><p><br/></p><p>We need to do better. Honestly. </p><p>Relationships are starting to look more like transactions than emotional bonds.</p><p><br/></p><p>Now someone like me can’t even dream of that Abhi and Pragya kind of love… or the kind where the Princess falls for Ikemefuna the hunter 😪.</p>
