Dating in 2020?
It’s 2020 and dating is a joke.
Dating is no longer about trying to get to know who someone is.
It boils down to left or right
hot or not
Society has made dating so hyper-focused on the physical that us women are left wondering if we will EVER be more than just a body.
Whether we are worthy enough to be seen again.
And because of this burning desire to be wanted- we do what we think we are meant to do- we put out.
But we are starting to get scared of all the hauntings caused by the ghosts who have never replied.
Stacks of empty promises of “I want to see you again” or “i’ll see you soon” becoming almost so unbalanced they might just fall.
But they wont
Because somehow the higher they stack, the easier it is to pretend it isn’t there.
To pretend it doesn’t bother us
Our dwindling self-worth held up by the hopes that maybe, just maybe, this time will be different.
So we endlessly swipe through strangers near and maybe far.
Waiting for that mutual attraction.
But how many swipes will it take for our hearts to feel full.
For us to stop feeling like we are incapable of being more than what they see us for.
Because as human beings we are extremely impatient.
Stop Looking.
