Insight From Modern Love
2
Modern Love is a web series on _at_AmazonPrime which
has about 8 episodes that capture unconventional
stories on love.Every challenge in a story is
conquered by the idea of love. Whether its a
protagonist with a rough past, a mental illness
like bipolar, or an LGBT couple- everyone is
capable of finding, keeping and being the love
they seek.

I would like to talk about an episode titled
When the doorman is your main man. The
protagonist Maggie Mitchell is a single woman
with a PhD, living in New York on a journey to
find the right man for herself. Guzmin- her
doorman, doesnt shy upon giving his expert
opinions on the guy she dates and he is almost
right all the time. We see that Guzmin has not
approved of any man she has dated so far. The
mystery is- how does Guzmin get to know? How is
it that everytime he is absolutely right about
his judgment and Maggie ends up breaking up with
the guy?

So, Maggie ends up trying her best to make every
man stay. She compromises on her needs and starts
wondering if she could ever find love? What if
nobody wanted to stay with her or be in love with
her? What if something was wrong with her? Now,
this is something we all can relate to.After a
certain turn of events Maggie focuses on her
life, she focuses on herself and eventually moves
to a different country on getting a great job
offer.

Maggie comes back to the city with her partner
she found in LA. Now its fun to watch the
pressure she has on herself that this guy passes
the Guzmin-test.To her surprise he does. What
was different about this guy? How did he gauge?
Well, it was never about the guy. You see, Guzmin
was never looking at the guys Maggie dated, he
always looked at Maggies eyes, about how she
felt around them, how she was treated, how
comfortable did they make her feel around them.

Don't we forget that at times? Love becomes the
goal, instead of a process. It becomes more about
the partner and less about ourselves. We focus on
seeking validation but neglect our needs. We
invalidate our feelings and prioritize others
needs over ours, forgetting the most important
thing One can only give you as much love as you
give to yourself.
