Mejja believes the negativity surrounding love stems from people who have been hurt.
“People have stopped believing in love,” he said. “Social media is fueling the narrative that love doesn’t exist. But I still believe love is a beautiful thing.”

He criticized social platforms for fostering doubt and hostility, where even simple acts of kindness or happiness are met with negativity.
“For example, if a woman does something good—whether styling her hair or sharing a picture—it’s often twisted into something negative,” he remarked.

Mejja also noted how this toxic environment discourages people from openly sharing their love stories.
“You’ll find couples who are happy in love but afraid to post about it because they don’t want to face criticism. It’s like negativity generates more publicity,” he said.

Acknowledging that relationships aren’t perfect, Mejja emphasized the effort and patience required to make them work.
“Love is like owning a car—it needs maintenance. If it breaks down, you don’t abandon it; you fix it. Love is a constant work in progress,” he explained.

He highlighted the challenges of blending two people’s unique backgrounds, calling for understanding and time to adjust.
“You’re dealing with someone who has grown up with different beliefs and experiences. You both need time to adapt to each other,” he said.

Mejja also observed how negativity about love often gets more attention than positivity.
“The more negative someone is about love, the more people gravitate toward them. If you post about a breakup, everyone will comment, but if you post about being happy, people immediately look for faults,” he noted.

Despite these hurdles, Mejja remains optimistic about love and relationships.
“My love life is okay. Love has its ups and downs, which people expect, but at the end of the day, it’s about two people working together to make it last,” he shared.

He concluded by encouraging people to celebrate love in all its forms, regardless of their relationship status.
“You don’t need to be in a relationship to believe in love. Love is worth celebrating because it’s beautiful and worth the effort,” he said.
