It deeply saddens me how little people these days value loyalty. Instant gratification over everything. Constantly chasing “something better.” Social media makes it so easy to get caught up in. It takes the strong minded and wiser of us to be able to see past that. To the end game, the future, and the bigger picture.
What does loyalty even mean now? In terms of social media? What is socially acceptable? Like my previous post, I think it differs for each person, couple and relationship. But then you have the utterly horrible, immature, toxic dirtbags (or bag-ettes), who push every boundary, refuse to just do what’s respectful. Instead, they live by their own rules and wait to be reprimanded. They make you question your own boundaries. Make you question yourself. These humans are truly horrible people. I’m not sure if society has given them a name quite yet. I think they’re rare (and not in the good way). You don’t come across this level of toxicity very often. This is the first time in 29 years I’ve come across it and I’ve been in physically abusive relationships. But this type of person truly gets their own spot in hell. And not the good hell that us sinners like to joke about meeting in. The hell reserved for the truly awful. The hell reserved for child and animal abusers.
Is it so much to ask have relationships like they did in the older days? Excluding the hard gender roles and woman being treated like servants. I’m talking the marriages that make it through everything because divorce isn’t an option. The flowers and romantic gestures. The proposal on the third dad because you just know and are crazy about each other (this happened to my grandma and her and my grandma were married happily their entire lives). The days where social media and instant gratification were unheard of. Us old souls are stuck horribly in the wrong generation and are constantly taking shit. What has happened to the world and love?
