Yes, I've heard about Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan-Tatum splitting up a couple weeks ago.
Yes, I have heard about other celebrity breakups. I won't name them because it will get repetitive and I'm sure that you are getting sick of hearing them. I'm surprised my social media account hasn't been blown up by break-up bombs yet, including the #loveisdead tags.
#loveisdead
This is the dumbest hashtag I have ever seen in my life. Just because the statistics of divorce is twice as higher in Hollywood than in the normal world doesn't mean that love is dead.
Regardless of the number of posts on social media, I refuse to believe that love is dead because it still exists. Whenever I see a celebrity break up pop up on my news feed, I just think to myself, "They'll be okay. If this is what they what they want, it's their personal business. They nothing to explain." Then I move on.
I think that people who believe that love dies after a celebrity couple breaks up, are too reliant on celebrities because of influences of marriage, fashion, beauty, and other things. Some people tend to believe that anything and anyone in Hollywood is perfect, but it is always not the case.
Behind the million-dollar mansions and life of glamor, celebrities are human beings, just like the rest of us. Despite what people think, not a single relationship, especially a Hollywood one, is perfect.
I understand why some celebrity relationships fail, but it still does not mean that love is dead. Instead of getting yourselves wrapped up in this negativity of a breakup that isn't yours, the best thing you can do is learn from them.
You can't let someone's relationship affect your own life. Not every famous couple is right for each other. The cold truth is that some famous couples get together for more publicity, money, pressure by the media, and for other reasons God knows about. Don't mistake It is also important to keep in mind that every relationship is unique and everyone has their own battles.
Last weekend, I was Skyping with one of my good friends. She mentioned reading a book called "The Four Loves" by C.S. Lewis. She highly recommended the book to me. The kinds of human love are:
1. Affection
2. Charity
3. Eros
4. Friendship
I read the first couple chapters, but it still gave me an idea that Lewis was pointing out that love is not a narrow subject because it consists of four things. My point is that since love is not just about romance and you can't allow a celebrity couple's split affect your own views of love.
Whenever I see the #loveisdead, I interpret the message as someone forgetting about their other loved ones, such as friends, parents, relatives, even God. I am aware that the #loveisdead is referred to romance being dead because of a popular celebrity couple splitting up, but I feel like people are forgetting about their loved ones.
When a celebrity couple splits up, don't lose hope by believing that love is dead because there's no way love is dead. Keep in mind of your own relationships. Appreciate your loved ones. Don't give up when things get tough. Make time for your loved ones. Show them how much you love them.
