This short article is from one of my entries in my diary.

I don’t know why, but relationships have become a very much hyped topic these days, like god!

I had not imagined before how many kinds of relationships could have existed. Some of them are named as situationships, casual relationships, FWB, Sexual relationships, etcetera, etcetera.

Why are we giving so much importance to these relationships that our happiness starts to depend on them?

If you try to find happiness in life, it’s like a folder that is made up of various things in your life, for example — Getting good marks in your exam, Making your parents proud, the Top that you got from a sale, that perfect fit jeans, yeah, as it gives me happiness!

A perfect evening with a cup of coffee and a passion that differentiates you from others. They all are a part of our happiness but we are chaotic social animals, we forget things that matter to us the most.

We prioritize our relationships over anything else, If you don’t do so, I guess you have done this at least once in your lifetime.

We prioritize human relationships like — Friends, Girlfriends, Boyfriends, Expectations, Cheating etcetera … I mean they matter, of course, relationships are important, but don’t let it take over your happiness.

We depend so much on these things only to be happy and to feel good and we ignore the rest of the things like they never existed before!

We get to lose our charm!

Even if your relationship status looks like this for now, remember you have the rest of the things as well!
