I just read a wonderful article about the present state of internet dating and our quest for real, deep, and loving connection in a "disposable" world. Things are made to be short term, disposable and "one-time use". Are we bringing this manufacturing concept into our personal lives?
What do you think about our modern state of commitment to a long term relationship?

We realize that this more we want is a lie. We want phone calls. We want to see a face we love absent of the blue dim of a phone screen. We want slowness. We want simplicity. We want a life that does not need the validation of likes, favorites, comments, upvotes. We may not know yet that we want this, but we do. We want connection, true connection. We want a love that builds, not a love that gets discarded for the next hit. We want to come home to people. We want to lay down our heads at the end of our lives and know we lived well, we lived the fuck out of our lives. This is what we want even if we don’t know it yet.
