Does the shoe fit?

Does the shoe fit?

     Sometimes I stare blankly into space. Lol no not actual space but just blankly at nothing. A lot of questions have crossed my mind concerning this generation, our generation and how we interact with each other, how we treat each other. My mind usually wanders to a simpler time when everyone said what they meant and acted in accordance to what they said. You know? Back when we were all children. Young and naïve, and oh so innocent.

     We’re in the digital age where everything seems to be done online, even the most personal things do not seem valid until broadcast for everyone to see. So does it come as a shock that the concept of cheating in relationships has broadened? I mean, before social media became rampant, cheating wasn’t necessarily always in our face or easy to go about. Now there are several many platforms for this to occur. And what bothers me the most is how we’ve all come to accept and justify it as the norm. We seem to always have an excuse, or come up with a reason to justify this.

     Sidepiece. This is becoming a trend, and a very disturbing one at that. Where it has become a normal question to ask if your significant other is really yours. Where there seems to be a vicious cycle of everyone becoming everyone’s sidepiece. Does this mean we’re all in one big messy relationship? I mean we’re a generation that literally thinks, “You’re single until married”. And even then some of us don’t see marriage as a boundary. When did cheating become the norm? And when do we ask ourselves, does the shoe fit?
