What's with all these fancy toggle caps and "favorite" numbers supposedly to mark a monthsary of a couple?

How do teenagers define a relationship these days? Relationships are equally valued as 'accessories' these days. You know, those things to get you through your loneliness--someone to hold hands with, someone to cuddle and kiss, someone to text you goodnight, someone to dine out or watch a movie with, to feature in your Friendster profile, et cetera--but as I come to think of it, do we really need these things?

It's so sad that people find themselves as slaves of some unnecessary fuss. If your boyfriend is cheating on you and you put up with everything just so he won't leave you, isn't it time to leave room for yourself? Who is he to take control of your life? He isn't God.

And you, why are you crying over someone who's not even worth your tears? Take pride in who you are as an individual. You can be complete without anyone in your life. You don't need to cry, don't need to beg, don't need to plead. In your heart there is a void, but you're filling it up with the wrong need.

Who made you? Who knew you well enough? Who loved you completely? Shouldn't that be the One deserving of your tears? Of your deeds? Of your achievements? Of your love? Shouldn't that be God?

It's about time that young people should take a deeper look on what they should really search for.

I don't need fussy relationships. I don't need people who only desire the shallow part of me. If God never gives me someone who can grasp the ideals of genuine love that surpasses the romance and the tangible things, then so be it. He has bigger plans. Bigger, better, more beautiful plans.
