They didn’t have a relation.
They had a subscription.
As in, they subscribed to each other.
The way you subscribe to a YouTube channel.
For the same reason you surf YouTube.
To have a good time. Nothing else.
The arrangement was simple.
Both would generate quality content and
show it to each other.
Not just gifts and hearts and balloons.
It was in dressing. Talking. Even thinking.
Everything was cut to conform to latest trends.
Everything was cut to each other’s approval.
They’d like, dislike and comment.
Or sometimes they’d say nothing.
Both would take the hint and
change the quality and content.
They thought that’s what a relationship is.
One fine morning,
both woke up to the same conclusion.
It was time for break-up.
For the same reason
you shut down your YouTube channel
or unsubscribe one: not fun anymore.
Both were tired of ‘customer is the king’ policy.
Both were tired of watching the same content.
The break-up was clean.
What came later was dirty.
Both realized it was never just for fun.
Nature had played its role
beyond the comprehension of their
consumerist brains.
They had developed deep feelings for each other.
It’s not easy to unsubscribe people.
And it’s horrible to get unsubscribed by them.
They tried to fill the void by
quickly subscribing to other people.
And of course the same cycle repeated itself.
In today’s consumerist culture,
when relationship is reduced into
production, exploitation and excretion,
it’s open market for
insecurity, anxiety, and depression.
Both never asked themselves
two basic questions.
One. Sure, relationship should have fun in it;
but should humans become
consumable products?
Two. Sure, relationship needs change in us;
but with what approach?
Editing selves into socially scripted roles?
Or evolving together to mutually enriching goals?
