Episode 14: Dating in our mid-20s Antidote

We can all agree on one thing, relationships are not easy. 

Whether you have zero experience in romantic relationships, or you've managed to stick together with your high school sweetheart for 10+ years, or you've had too many fruitless "talking phases" and you're ready to give up on love... we will all encounter headaches in one form or another. But of course, love wouldn't be the beautiful human experience as we know it without the tribulations. 

Dating, in a way, is like when a patient decides on a treatment. There will always be risks in every treatment option. Some will have terrible side effects and are not worth the negligible benefits they provide (*cough ivermectin for rona*). Other therapies may have bad side effects, but if endured, can reward the patient with life (e.g. chemotherapy for cancer). There will also be cures available that wouldn't make sense for anyone to say no to. Yet, every patient values different aspects of their life, and once they choose which route to take, they will have to live with the consequences and forever continue to work towards improving their health. 

Maybe what I just said makes absolutely no sense. The point is that as 25 and 26 year-olds, we are still just as lost and confused on how to find and keep love during these crazy pandemic times. We hope that you can find some peace in relating to our joys and worries about dating, marriage, and being single. 

Love,
