10 Meaningful Traditions That Social Media Has Made Obsolete

Record-breaking spending expected this Valentine’s Day

Social media has completely changed the way we interact with each other. Is it a sign that the times are changing? Or is it indicative of a bigger issue? People no longer give each other personal, thought out sentiments. Now all people need is texting and reposting stories for validation in relationships.

What kinds of things are we talking about? These are some of the old-school, meaningful habits that are now fading away, thanks to social media.

  • Writing someone a love letter
  • Taking goofy pictures together and not caring
  • Trusting one another without social media clouding your judgment
  • Keeping certain aspects of your relationship private
  • Making someone a curated mixtape instead of a Spotify playlist
  • Apologizing with flowers, not a text
  • Dating someone instead of just texting “you up?’
  • Calling your loved ones each week instead of texting
  • Dedicating songs to people on the radio instead of posting them on stories
  • Remembering someone’s birthday without Facebook reminding you

Maybe this week we can all do something special for that special someone. A refreshing take on an old classic, if you would.
