You Don't Need No Man (Or Woman)
So I know many of us single or taken see so many couples and romance movies/stories and feel as though there is this “pressure” to be in love or in a relationship. Well, I’m here to squash that idea. As you go through different stages of your life, especially in high school and college, you watch TV series where high school students are focused on trying to get with a guy or trying to get with a girl; because of this, we put so much time and effort into trying to be with someone and fall in love. Since a young age, we are exposed to the realities of how important it is to be in love with someone or have a boyfriend or girlfriend. But these shows don't have much content where the moral of the story is being single or focusing on self-goals. Not only TV series but all media outlets encourage this idea of being in a relationship or being in love, in books, in songs, even magazines where you see new about celebrities, most of the time it is around some subject of love. I myself, have been a victim of this, listening to the lyrics of love songs and wishing that I can find the man of my dreams and be madly in love. Or that Ill go out somewhere and fall in love with someone just from the sight of them across a room. When in reality I was just living in a fantasy world, my expectations of love was unrealistic, and I should have put more time and effort into bettering myself and figuring out what my goals are, and not worry about boys or love.
