On and Off: The Dance of Human Connections

When it comes to dating and social interactions, we often find ourselves caught in the endless loop of being ‘on and off’ with our connection choices. You know what I mean, right? One moment, you’re in the heat of flirty texts, sending heart emojis like you’re in a confetti storm, and the next, you’re contemplating whether to ghost that person or send them on their way with a "nice to meet ya!".

Relationships these days feel like they’re on a rollercoaster ride without a seatbelt. One minute you’re riding high on love, and the next, you’re plummeting down into the valley of uncertainty. Why does dating have to be like a Samsung phone — great one minute, and then it just stops working when you need it most?
