The Great Lie
The Expensive Price of Living in “Maybe”
Let’s stop romanticizing empty relationships. Thousands of young people waste their best years in superficial connections that go nowhere. We call it “modern,” but it’s just cowardice disguised as freedom.
Society sold us the idea that commitment-free relationships are synonymous with freedom, when in reality they’re emotional prisons in disguise.
Between parties, casual encounters, and hookups, we’ve lost the ability to build genuine, lasting connections.
Thirty-year-old men who “don’t know what they want.” Brilliant women waiting years for a commitment that never comes. Half-decade relationships ending with a simple “I’m not ready.”
What a cruel joke we’ve become. It’s as if we’ve created an entire generation incapable of emotional responsibility, always looking for the next best option, always with one foot out the door. We pretend this is social evolution when it’s really just fear masquerading as modernity.
We’ve normalized the absurd. We accept emotional crumbs as if they were a feast. We call it love when it’s just fear of being alone.
And the price?
Shattered identities, broken hearts, lost years that never return. We build relationships based on convenience, not true…
