The Art Of Moving On Ep7: Modern Love

Published: Feb. 17, 2021, 2:19 p.m.

b'\\u201cSometimes I feel like modern love is not for me. Sometimes I feel like my mind can\\u2019t really comprehend the games, the mixed signals, the low investment and the tests we put each other through to make sure this is not just another heartbreak in disguise.\\n\\nSometimes my heart can\\u2019t understand the distance. After an amazing first date, after a deep conversation, after a beautiful night. My heart doesn\\u2019t operate that way. How could someone pull you so close only to push you away? How could someone have a great time with you and then fall off the radar for weeks?\\n\\nSometimes I don\\u2019t know how we got here. How commitment is now something to fear, how people are now nothing but tools we use to experiment on, how disposable we\\u2019ve become to one other, how we simply walk away without saying a word because we don\\u2019t want to go through the hassle of confronting people. We don\\u2019t consider their feelings. We don\\u2019t put ourselves in their shoes. I don\\u2019t know how we\\u2019ve become so good at breaking hearts and not apologizing for it.\\n\\nBut sometimes, I hope that the day real love knocks on my door, it will be the most powerful force. It will be the kind of love that withstands the fickleness and flightiness of modern love. The kind of love that feels perfect in an imperfect world.\\n\\nSometimes I feel like modern love is not for me but I am certain that I\\u2019m not the only one and I\\u2019m bound to find that old soul who still wants to love one person forever in sickness and in health. Someone who wants to hold on, in a world where everyone lets go.\\u201d \\u2013ranianaim'
