As adults, we live in a society where we are told to stop believing in fairy tales because they are not real. Your prince is not coming to rescue you from your tower, and you will love many people just to break up with them, and this is an ongoing process for the rest of your life.

To prevent themselves from going through the hardships of love while also fulfilling their sexual desires, they engage in this “hookup culture.” To me, this concept of a “hookup” always sounded like an empty feeling. How could you “hook up” with someone you do not love? It sounds like something is missing.
