LOVE. SOCIAL MEDIA. US.

Love is to be shared between two people and no one else. I guess most of you believe in that. Let me tell you why I don’t.

Some consider addressing your happy relationship on the social media being fake, sugary, annoying or a little bit ‘too much’. The truth, like it or not, is that social media is what brings us together as a world. Today it is an integral part of our lives, an integral part of us, and in that sense, an integrant part of our intimate lives as well. Social media has reshaped the way being in love works and has transformed the rules of relationships. What was normal before is no longer relevant today. Years ago when people had long distance relationships and wanted to speak to their loved ones, they had no other choice but to send letters. Kind of romantic, I have to admit, yet sending letters is a dull glimpse of the past. Today saying ‘I miss you’ to your better half is just a ‘Send’ click away. You can tweet it, instagram it or simply put it on the good ‘old’ FB and there you go.

Please don’t get me wrong. Putting tongue kiss photos on the social media like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West do is not what I am encouraging you to do. That’s not cool. It’s just very bad taste! Please, keep the most intimate moments for yourselves! But a little bit of social media love never killed anybody. It is in fact kind of adorable and romantic. At the end of the day what’s the difference between walking hand in hand on the street and taking a selfie of you and your loved one walking hand in hand on the street? It doesn’t mean that your love is fake or that you love each other less than those who don’t put their relationships out there. But it doesn’t mean that you love each other more then them either. It just means that you love. You feel comfortable showing your unconditional love to the world and you have no fears, infiriority complex or issues with being judged. Haters will hate no matter what you do. So just be brave and do what you want.

Here are a few romantic inspirations that caught my eye coming from people that are not afraid of ‘loving’ on the social media:

A note to those of you who may believe that what I am writing is a complete nonsense:

If you don’t like addressing your relationships on the social media simply don’t do it. But try to abstain yourself from being judgmental towards those who are doing it. As John Lennon said it once ‘Don’t hate what you don’t understand’.
