It’s funny how much people (including myself) rely on technology. It pervades every aspect of our lives from school to work, even our intimate relationships. Going through a few long distance periods in relationships, I’ve realized that texting and chatting are never really the same as face-to-face time with your partner. Phone calls are a little bit better, and Skyping is a step above the rest because you actually get to see his or her face which I think is huge in communication. I think that’s where the problem lies. We rely so much on technology that sometimes we can’t be consistent in face-to-face dialogue. I am very much guilty of that quite frequently. I would much rather text someone than call them. It’s unfortunately, but I am always working towards making myself better. The same can be said with intimate relationships. Quick texts and tweets are fun, but to me, they don’t convey the same gravity as talking with a partner but a few inches away. I can see that in my own relationship. I don’t usually text with my partner or at least I don’t text as much as I used to with other girlfriends. I kind of like that though. It makes me rely on seeing her and focusing my attention on her when I am with her. It’s quite refreshing after I bombard myself with Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Youtube, my iPhone, and other sorts of social networks and media that I happen to StumbleUpon (see what I did there?) What do you all think?
What does “being in love” mean to me? Well that’s a very good question. Although, I am still very young I can already tell the difference between my past relationships and the relationship that I currently am in. It’s not even comparable. They do not hold a candle to the person that I am with now. She is amazing in every way that matters to me. She is whole-hearted. She understands me, who I am and who I was. We have the same goals. We have the same values. We make each other laugh. I can’t believe I found a love like this. A love I have never been able to even fathom before. I know this sounds very extravagant, but it really is true. She is the one. I know it. We talk about. We talk about the future, our future. Everything seems so bright and so manageable because of her. We can accomplish many great things. I love her, and I would do anything for her. She does not complete me but compliments me in the ways that I should and be complimented. We are intertwined and still growing…
