Why Love Feels So Hard Today: Gen Z, Heartbreak, and the Search for Real Connection

Sometimes, we’ve got to give something a try—but at some point, we’ve got to let it be.

Let’s talk about LOVE! Hahaha… it’s kinda hard to understand. I know, right? Because we al of us almost don’t believe in this four-letter word anymore. Like seriously, check this out: In a generation like Gen Z, everyone’s all about satisfying themselves and their own wants. Like, who really has time to think about someone else’s feelings?

There’s this common saying—“Hit and run”—and we’ve all learned to cope with it.

What Should We Call Love?

People don’t believe in love for so many reasons. I’m not saying you should give up on love already, but hey, I’m just spilling some facts.

One: A great deal of heartbreaks. Geez! A freaking heartbreak process from month one to last, who the hell really has the energy to keep going? I bet you eventually reach a point and just close that chapter.

Two: Meeting the wrong guys or girls over and over again. Like for real—whenever you give someone a chance, it never ends right. It’s always them that hurt you.

I guess the main reason is TRUST:I do believe there are people out there who trust too easily. I don’t think I need to explain that, because I’m pretty sure you all know what I mean. And because of that, we give up on love—and people just assume we’re cold or mean.

A Question for the Heartbreakers

I have a question for those who hurt others: seriously, how do you guys do it? You hurt someone’s feelings—not once, not twice—and still live like everything’s perfect. I really don’t get it. Not trying to judge, but how do you feel okay doing something so wrong?

Think about it—someone out there is crying, and you are the reason. Doesn’t that mean something?

To Those Who’ve Closed Their Hearts

To those who’ve locked their feelings away from the world—I get you. I really do. You’ve been hurt deep down your soul. You were always genuine, always tried to stay cool with ’em—but they didn’t notice. I understand you 100%, and I can never judge your decision to let go. It might have been the best thing you could do for yourself.

But… don’t you think there’s someone out there who wants to make you feel like the most special person in the universe? I get that it’s hard to believe after all you’ve been through.

Let me tell you something: Sometimes we lose the best people because we’re still tied to our past. There are people out there who truly want to love you—but only if you give them your approval. They want to help you forget about the pain, the freaking mistakes you got on with.

So don’t cry, my darling. I know something great ‘z cookin’ up in a corner for you.

When Forgiveness Becomes a Cycle

To those struggling with decisions: You’ve broken up with someone, yet they’re now into getting back with you. I know—it’s a hard decision. We sometimes rush to forgive because we still love them. But huh, they end up hurting you again.

I’m right, aren’t I?

Think about this: you say you love me, but you never show up when I need you. You give me a thousand excuses. You tell me I’m overreacting. You make me feel like I’m the problem.

Damn! What are you gonna do? Ignore it? Or forgive again?

Sure, forgive if you must—but move on. Stop building illusions in your head like, “Maybe today he’s changed” or “Maybe she’s different this time.” Some people—changing isn’t in their nature.

Priyanka Chopra was once asked in an interview if she would go back to her ex. She smiled and said:

“I don’t read a book twice, nor do I read it backwards. The author always writes something similar.”

I think you understand this quote better than I do. So here’s what I want to tell you: you know what’s right for you—make the right decision.

Love is about being happy with each other.
It’s not one-sided.
It’s not about making one person happy.
It’s a both party agreement.
Make the best out of it.
Find someone who loves you for you.
