You can't just plant a seed, never tend to it and expect a plant. The seed will need, water, nutrients, sun and tender love and care to grow and flourish... Exactly like us as people and SO true for relationships.
Unforntately we've become a "throw away society" with both things and people. Look at the abundance of "Dollar stores" that have popped up world wide. The cheap price of an item makes us simply throw it away if it breaks.. why bother try to fix these scissors as they only cost me a dollar?
This has spread to our dating world, and from my personal research, even more prevalent with Generation Z daters (born from 1997-2013). This group of people, from what I can gather, have simply accepted a "hook up society". We don't need relationships and everyone and everything is dispensable.
You want a relationship to work? Then start cultivating it. But remember, it takes two to tango. So if BOTH parties in a relationship are now willing to compromise and put in the work, you'll end up with a skunky end...
And no one likes "skunky" unless we're talking about Marijuana plants (legal in Canada 😄
