Society

I'm not going to lie.

I loathe the society we live in.

I hate hookup culture.

Dating is dead.

Marriage is dying.

We live in a selfish world.

Where instant gratification is the norm.

Sex is more available.

People don't even try anymore.

and I hate it. SO much.

As a 24 year old girl it has been extremely difficult finding someone who takes relationships seriously.

It is the saddest thing. I feel as though I am doomed.

The older generations tell me to not complain - if only they could realize how lucky they were to live in a much better atmosphere.

When there was respect.

But is love dead?

Of course not!

There are so many forms of  it. 

I am a girl who has walked through the streets of Camden.

The Streets of Paris.

The rocky roads of Dublin.

Around the world I have witnessed love.

And I forever will have faith in it.

I recently watched my uncle marry a wonderful woman.

There's no doubt about it.

There is definitely still hope to hold on to.

Without love, what are we?

One of my grandparent's favorite songs was

"You're nobody till somebody loves you."

I've been finding I love the past.

I love the old times.

Yes they might have been hard.

But they were so good too.

I have never been loved by a man.

I have a whole life ahead of me....but loneliness is poisonous.

and I've come dangerously close to throwing in the towel and abusing love like everyone else.

But it just doesn't seem right.

I have a feeling there's more to my story...

and that he's on the horizon.

It's going to be wonderful.

and if I never find him, I will be of despair.

For it's true.

You're nobody till somebody loves you.

It is all I've ever wanted.
