In this world, who doesn't want to be loved? Everyone does.
As a partner, as family, as a friend, as a best friend, as part of a community.
But sadly, this is what happens:
✓ We want to be loved sincerely, but we love with conditions. ✓ We want to be kept as the one and only, but we keep other options. ✓ We want to be understood, but we don't want to understand others. ✓ We want honesty, but we keep so many lies ourselves. ✓ We want peace, but we create drama and arguments. ✓ We want to be a priority, but we don't want to prioritize. ✓ We want to be treated with respect, but we treat others without it.
Relationships today are no longer about wanting to know someone more deeply and growing together to become better.
They are about who is more beneficial physically, financially, emotionally.
We often say, "I want to be loved like this, by someone like that"...
But have we ever asked ourselves:
Have we also loved in the right way? Not just wanted to be loved in the right way?
Have we become the person we expect others to be for us? Or do we just keep demanding and asking, without ever making the effort to be someone worth fighting for, someone with value?
Because love without maturity and responsibility is not love. It's not a healthy relationship. It's just ego.
Is love just a label now? Like a tag on clothes, visible but meaningless. ?
It is what you make of it. In modern dating and social media culture, people frequently reduce love to branding. That is just one of the many mistakes people make. Real love resists being reduced to a label because it cannot be summarized by a word or a feeling.
There’s the idea of love.. vs loving someone and being love in return. Everyone has their own definition of real love.. and love can be an evolution over the courses of someone’s relationship or as we age.

Not in my world.
I create love for eternity/from the heart and soul… not based on what the society structures into labels
I completely agree with what you wrote; we definitely have many demands, but we often can't meet them ourselves.
True love becomes eternity, two souls share a single heart, and the heart is one.
Not for me, it isn't. When I tell someone I love them I mean it completely.
Certainly not
Ohhh
