Lets look at the practical side of relationships and leave aside all the lovey-dovey stuff for a sec.

Lets be real, kids.

We all want to have spectacular dates and those usually cost money.

Relationships will not change the way you feel about yourself.

My mother once told me that we attract people based on how we feel about ourselves.

She couldnt be more right.

The point is that you dont need someone to validate you and make you feel better about yourself.

Insecurities are an internal battle that only you’re free to fight.

There is no magic cure for it.

You simply have to learn to love yourself before anyone else can.

Relationships wont make you cooler.

Oh, to go on double dates with your friends!

Instagram-able pictures of everything we eat, see, and do!

Relationships are about companionship and complicity.

Theyre about supporting one another and being there, even when things arent so Insta-worthy.

A relationship doesnt give you status, it doesnt give you approval.

Relationships dont fill voids.

A relationship isnt meant to fill the voids others have left.

It isnt meant to replace or forget anyone.

A relationship isnt a solution do the messed up people youve had to endure.

Filling voids others have left with an SO will just make idealize and idolize them.

If your SO is human, he/she will fail, its just a matter of when and how.
