modern day love and the contemporary sypnosis of the human need. (pt 1)
here i will underscore the complexity of contemporary relationships in which the beginnings are so highly charged and exciting that the process of falling in love can become addictive. people can become falling-in-love-junkies and find that maniacal habit difficult to break.
Love of the 21st century gives us sexual jealousy, the male gaze, the lies we tell ourselves and those we are most intimate with, the ways people find themselves in using others. but in the end...its always a nice, simple love story. and like in most love stories, things go wrong.
lets concern ourselves, for a moment, with the fact that, in love, we remember beginnings and endings and tend to edit out the middles. how do we really remember things and how does life ultimately look to us?
the fact is, the dynamic between two modern day people is the center of our lives on earth. its what most jokes are about, what most novels are about, what most music touches on. it is, for want of a better word, life. and its endlessly interesting and entertaining.
