Being in a long distance relationship is not something I would recommend. That is unless you seem to have found someone worth waiting all those times apart for, and there is an end in sight.
My man lives a 2 hour flight and a 16 hour drive away. I could have it much worse. Being on the internet a lot growing up I saw a lot of people falling in love with others from corners of the world they had never even seen. As it is, I see him at least once a month. The coming is always spectacular (lol) but the going is getting harder and harder. August 1st is the date we are counting down to now though. That's not when I'll see him next, we are hoping sometime near the end of next month, but it is the day he will be moving back indefinitely! Which makes me happier than I could ever have thought. We are going to make such a happy little family.
It's weird letting yourself be happy.
