Celebrity Couples Should Never Be Your "Relationship Goals"

Stop looking for the Liam to your Miley.

From John and Chrissy to Blake and Ryan, we all are guilty of fawning over some of Hollywood's cutest couples at some point. I mean, who wouldn't? They're seriously cute and always entertaining us somehow.

There's only one problem with this obsession, however. People are starting to compare themselves and their relationships to celebrities, which we should all know by now never ends well.

What some people don't realize is that what you see is not the entire picture. All of these couples seem perfect and without a single flaw, which in reality is just plain false.

Everyone has their own imperfections and relationships do too.

Now, I'm not saying that these celebrity couples actually have horrible relationships, I'm just letting you know that what you see is not everything that's there. No relationship is without flaws, and comparing yours to that of a celebrity is only setting you up for failure.

Constant comparison is a perfect way to always end up unhappy. You'll never be able to replicate what you see in the media. Not only because it's not even completely true, but also because you're simply not that person and there's no way for you to become exactly like someone else.

You should think about relationships in the same way. It's pretty unlikely that your boyfriend will surprise you with a Kanye-style flower wall this Valentine's Day, but that doesn't mean that he loves you as much as Kanye loves Kim.

I know all of this may sound pretty pessimistic, but it's really not. It should actually be comforting to realize that you really don't have to live up to the impossible standards portrayed by celebrities in the media.

Instead, compare your relationships to how they affect your own relative happiness. What's perfect for you is not perfect for someone else, so your relationship should not be the exact same as anyone else's.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
