Love is Messy, and That's Exactly How It Should Be
Imagine waking up one day and realizing that everything you've been taught about love is fundamentally wrong. The fairy tales, rom-coms, and Instagram relationship goals have sold us a dangerous fantasy - that perfect love exists, that the right person will complete us, and that healthy relationships don't involve pain. In reality, love will break your mind, trigger your deepest insecurities, and force you to confront parts of yourself you'd rather ignore. And according to psychotherapist Todd Baratz, that's not just normal - it's necessary. Real love isn't about finding someone who never triggers you; it's about developing the capacity to navigate those triggers together. It's about understanding that we're all carrying emotional ghosts from our past, all somewhat unhealthy, and all deserving of compassion despite our flaws. We've transformed love into a capitalist pursuit where potential partners are products to be evaluated based on superficial metrics. Dating apps function as marketplaces where we swipe through humans like items on Amazon, disqualifying potential matches over absurdities like "they're a Gemini" or "they live in Brooklyn and I'm on the Upper West Side." We're simultaneously shopping for the perfect partner while marketing ourselves as desirable assets. This approach has created a collective crisis in how we connect, developing rigid rules about relationships that function as defensive strategies born from fear and anxiety, rebranded as essential health measures. As our expectations for relationships have skyrocketed - expecting partners to be our best friend, lover, therapist, and co-parent - our commitment to the necessary work has plummeted. We cling to the fantasy that the "right" person will bring total bliss, ignoring that all relationships include disappointment. The problem isn't that our standards are too high or too low - it's that our focus is wrong. We're seeking perfection in others rather than growth in ourselves.
