Are "Relationship Goals" Memes Just Annoying Or Something More?

Unless you've been living under a social media rock, you should know of or have seen pictures of other's relationships like the ones below, everywhere. They are usually accompianed by "OMG I wish I had this!" "Can't wait to be like this with my future bae" or "Me and Bae" following with a flurry of heart eye, kissy face, & raised hands emoji's. They're relationship goals memes, but are they important?



These pictures are basically inspiration or something to model one's relationship...a symbol. Quite a few people are annoyed with their presence, and I understand when it comes to the ones that are really ridiculous and aren't positive or are just random. But there are a lot that are admirable, and you can understand why people would look to those relationship pictures and desire to have that.




To me, these types of 'relationship goals" memes are the important ones. The ones that show a couple together and successful. They are important to a generation that has a strong reputation of completely turning its back on love; it shows that that is far from the truth.

It reveals that we do long to be in committed and successful relationships. We have our minds set on being involved with someone for the long run, and be genuinely in love with someone. That we actually do want to have someone to share our success with so much that we push and motivate them, as well.

SOME "relationship goals" memes are important because they show us, as a generation, that real love is out there and that we can strive for and obtain it.

What are your thoughts on "relationship goals" memes?
