“Relationships are harder because conversations become texting, arguments become phone calls, and feelings become status updates.”
Social media has made life (seem) much more magical than it really it. It (seems) as though every time you go online there is someone whose life is so much rosier, glossier, and (basically) better than yours.
It can be tough not to look around at your life and see a matte finish when all you ever do is compare said life to the filtered life of others.
The solution is simple, but far from easy: Do not compare your relationship to others, ever (in real life or online).
What works for one couple will not be replicable for another.
Each partnership is unique and built on a foundation only the two individuals in said relationship shared and created together. When you think of it from this perspective, it almost seems (almost) silly to compare.
