Thoughts on “attachment”??

As I’m meeting so many people lately who are usually gone from my life within a short period, I’m noticing a trend. Everyone keeps talking about not forming attachments. As if it’s some spiritual endeavor to not get close to others. I think it’s a cop out. I think people can’t form emotional bonds because they won’t deal with their feelings. I understand it’s hard to be a giver, I struggle with that big time. But humans aren’t built to do everything alone. It’s proven that we die early without connections and support.

In this age of needing to connect so desperately, why are we trying to convince ourselves that loving someone unconditionally is the prison? Love is the key, not the cage. Love can be healthy.

I just really don’t understand anymore 😆

I think it is because of the obligations and restrictions that come with certain kinds of attachment. People want to be able to enjoy the moment without having to be bound to any one person or place. Freedom of movement so to speak. Options.

@SW-User but what about open relationships? Why can’t we be a bad ass couple that can survive the apocalypse and also fuck other people?
