Viral Moments and Modern Relationships
It has become prevalent for couples to share videos from proposals or intimate moments on social media for various reasons. It is important to note that there is absolutely nothing wrong with sharing videos and photos from a wedding ceremony on social media, however, there is absolutely no reason to expose intimate and vulnerable moments with your partner on social media. It serves little to no purpose.
As seen on social media nowadays, many couples desire their own viral moments. The woman want to make sure they appeal to members of the feminist coven, while the man is more concerned about looking like he is a masculine man, to show that he is a member of the modern alpha male community.
Several modern relationships lack depth, purpose and intricate values because most couples are seeking ephemeral objectives- to share a beautiful photo for the ‘gram.
This is fickle and it explains why modern relationships end by the snap of the finger, couples never go beyond the surface level of intimacy which is to build worthwhile memories and establish a longterm vision (whatever this might be) together. For social media sake, couples no longer collaborate to achieve the purpose of a relationship, instead, they want to make themselves look superior, just as seen in the viral video from days ago.
The man wouldn’t kneel to propose to his partner, meanwhile, the lady wouldn’t agree to build a future with him for this reason. We reside in absurd times.

Conclusion: So, What Do We Do Now?
Viral moments are good. As a matter of fact, the random and unexpected moments are usually the most interesting. However, intentional pursuit of a viral moment is fickle.
Like smoke, it fades after going off.
Instead of chasing a viral moment, be firm and grounded in whatever aspect of life you find yourself. A musician who lives off his ‘one-hit’ from decades ago is soon forgotten.
Social media users who expose their body for validation simply lack self-esteem and self-respect, hence, they should find something more worthwhile to do with their time. As for men, they should put down the camera and desist from telling boring jokes, the world is hard enough, don’t ruin it with lethargic content.
