The Estranged Theory



The Estranged theory
To love and to try, to hurt and to want, these are things we go through for love, a cycle so cynical yet intoxicatingly feasible…
If so, why do we not just let go?
We as humans are weak, we desire, demand and shunt in the hope of getting what we want, but then get bored and disregard all of the qualities of the person who are in our arms.
Love today is like an enigma created by A.I, the only code written is one so cold with no heart to show, a glitch in the matrix saying “yes i want you” oh wait “no i dont”.
Why do we manipulate and hide our feelings inside, what gratification does this bring or is it because we enjoy the destruction we can cause to another human being.
Its sad to say… but our current generation have been rewired and no longer understand the difference between peace and violence!
What ever happened to “hey beautiful” and “i love you”, oh sorry those words are no longer valid in today’s society.
The only currency that has value anymore is money and time, but as soon as one goes you become blocked on all socials because you can no longer provide.
These irrational expectations cloud and consume to what used to be the norm,
no more letters to express our hearts content, sorry thats cringe! Let me send a snapchat with another to show you don’t mean anything.
To think we are worth more than someone trying to freely give us nothing but simple love.
In a world with so much diversity that boasts about equality but turns out to be controversy, nothing appreciated is reciprocated, the idea of giving back is too much to give and the killer is this ideology of “Pride” stepping in…
Instead of stepping down… our humbleness is nowhere to be found and just like that we forget and all that is left is regret till the cycle begins again.
