TW: Death. Losing a loved one has a lasting impact, and dealing with the aftermath can be a rollercoaster ride that leaves us feeling worn out and disoriented.

So much of our time is spent on social media and this can impact our view on what we deem as relationship goals when it comes to our platonic and romantic interactions, and even how we navigate dating in the digital age.
