We live in a culture that glorifies casual relationships and treats being \u2018in love\u2019 as embarrassing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Romantic feelings have become something to hide, not something to celebrate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the social media age, vulnerability is viewed as a weakness. Platforms like Tiktok and Instagram have popularized emotional detachment as a form of power while longing for deeper connections is tabbed as unrealistic or cringe.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I see this reflected in conversations with my friends. They brag about \u201csituationships\u201d and follow dating strategies like waiting hours to reply, avoiding double texts and never admitting how they truly feel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What\u2019s concerning is that this behavior has become the norm; although everyone quietly craves connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why did we change?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of it stems from the fear social media has instilled in us\u2014the fear of rejection, public embarrassment and the permanent reminder of our failure.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vulnerability feels dangerous when every action is visible. People protect themselves and their reputation by pretending to care less.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, what\u2019s easier is not always better.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hookup culture often leaves people feeling empty and confused, not empowered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a generation that praises \u201cauthenticity\u201d and \u201cliving in your truth,\u201d we are surprisingly unwilling to be authentic about love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We tell ourselves casual means confident when in reality, detachment is a mask.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ironically, the art we celebrate contradicts this detachment. The music we scream in cars, the movies we cry to and the books we hold dear are rarely about one-night stands. Most are about love.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We listen to artists like SZA, Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift who build entire albums around heartbreak and longing because they give voice to the feelings we are afraid to express out loud. Yet, in everyday life, we repress those same feelings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So\u2026 is it better to speak or to die?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To speak is not shameful. To love, openly and without apologies, is one of the bravest acts a person can take.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My generation acts like silence saves us, but all it really does is starve us.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Love may be messy. It may sting. It may not always be reciprocated. But, staying quiet is to never give it a chance at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If these are the risks, then it\u2019s a price worth paying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We must stop treating love like a joke and start seeing it for what it really is\u2014the very thing that makes us human.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next time you find yourself in this moment of hesitation and doubt, don\u2019t repress your feelings. Acknowledge them and allow them to flourish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gianna Michel is a high school senior at Miami Lakes Educational Center and is a
