Love? Give me a break.

So, this is one blog that may turn into a rant because of how stupidly infuriating this emotion called “love” is. First off, why in God’s name does it exist? Yes, it can provide you with some great times but ultimately, it’s going to get you hurt. Experiencing this emotion is an excruciating thing but I’m out here in beautiful Sheffield having the best time of my life. Now don’t get me wrong, love and relationships can work out and they can provide you with the greatest happiness you can imagine and I’m not just talking about emotionally… I’ve just about finally realised that I need to concentrate on my own happiness at the ripe age of 18 and not worry about what others think. Yes, that is quite selfish, sue me. But I feel as though going into a relationship at such a young age just to have a period of stress alongside a slither of happiness isn’t really worth it.

I’m not going to tell anyone what to do and why should you listen to me, I’m just a random lad who likes Fetty Wap a tad too much. But, what I will say is to anyone reading this, is that you need to do what is best for you. This world will eat you up for your kindness and spit you back out and leave you in the gutter to rot. I’m afraid that society has evolved and this peculiar emotion has done the same. Long gone are the simpler times when you could just ask someone out face to face and have a grand evening. Now you have to decode encrypted text messages from someone to find out what they really want.

Also, why are we so fixated on worrying whether we will find “the one”? If it happens then it happens. I think people need to realise that yourself is the only person who can truly make you happy. Ever heard the expression “I like my own company”? Well if you haven’t then basically it’s your own time to chill, relax do whatever you want to do without having any hassle, nagging or whining from another person, doesn’t that sound amazing? Obviously, this is personal preference and I don’t speak for the entire world’s population but it’s working wonders for me at the moment. Hopefully one day I might be able to finally understand what this thing is because for starters I don’t totally get it and secondly, I don’t really want to get it. Seeing my parent’s relationship and then divorce a couple of years ago, really made me realise that I’m definitely not ready or even willing to anything like that. But, you reading this, do what makes you happy because that’s what I’ve been doing the past couple of months and I cannot explain how liberating it is. All I can say to finish is what Bruno Mars said in that great song just live “young and wild and free”.
