The reason why my generation struggles to date or be in relationships is cause we see all the happy pictures, videos and posts on social media and only want that.

There definitely is more to the lack of love and belief of it in my generation, and everyone has their own struggles with life which then leads them down whichever path they choose.
But I& #39;m specifically unpacking social media, and one other thing - just not everything.

We& #39;ve taken all the content we& #39;ve seen, and told ourselves that that& #39;s all relationships are made of.

Too many people outchere trying to date for the sake of aesthetics, and truth is:
That strong desire to want to post about how "happy" we are with this current person, is one of the reasons why people& #39;s children don& #39;t/can& #39;t/wont& #39;t believe in genuine love.

The fault doesn& #39;t fall on those who are in relationships and posting about their partners. The fault falls on those who choose to believe that there isn& #39;t more to a relationship.

Little do we know (including myself) that there is so much more to a relationship than just gifting, going out, taking pictures and compiling couple videos.

Along with being in a rush, we& #39;re also hell bent on being in "the streets".
Being single has been turned into a competition to see which gender can do the other worse. Hurt people going around hurting people -

Whether it& #39;s on purpose or by mistake. Everyone wants to get equal. People doing things because they experienced the same thing, and now they feel the need to pay the favour back.

In my opinion, I genuinely believe that being single is the perfect time to Release, Reflect and Restructure.
Like most things in life, being single isn& #39;t only a moment in your life - but I see it as a process of growth too.

After a relationship, one should take the time to feel their all their emotions.
Cry. Talk. Scream. Write. Keep quiet. Whatever it is - do it. Don& #39;t block out, don& #39;t ignore, don& #39;t bury - just feel.
This is when you RELEASE.

Once you feel like you& #39;ve released to your heart& #39;s content, you REFLECT.
The good, the bad, the ugly - look back on everything. What worked, what didn& #39;t, what you liked, what you didn& #39;t like, what you want more of, what you want less of.

After reflection, you then RESTRUCTURE.
You rebuild yourself. Your heart, your mind, your soul and your spirit.
This is the time to put things into place, to allow yourself to be the best version of yourself in that part of your life.

It& #39;s important to remember that none of these steps happen overnight.
You take each day as it comes, and you make sure you don& #39;t go to bed without having made progress - no matter how little.
Forward movement, is good movement.
