Long Distance Relationship - LDR :((
being in LDR is very difficult and confusing
family relatives friends mean well, but in all honesty
they cant relate to the special challenges
that come with these romances
people like me have difficulty being in such relationships
or even talking about the possibility initially
i kept thinking, how was i to face the awkward discussions?
somehow i was falling for this man, i couldnt let go
and just forget about him right?-. im not crazy to do such a thing
gave it a shot and i didnt regret :))
LDR made me come to terms with whether my own relationship
would be capable of withstanding pressures
and expectations that comes with the distance..
which greatly require commitment, communication, time, and trust
being in a long distance relationship,
i knew i had to compromise, adjust, recalculate and reconsider
almost every aspect of the relationship..
making the relationship infinitely stronger as a result.
truth is, the distance forces me to assess the
quality and durability of my relationship
being geographically distanced from him helped me identify
whether my relationship is healthy and viable
people are always skeptical/condescending
about me and my partner's abilities to keep things going..
but ultimately i know its only up to me
with patience, trust and care, i know it can survive and work well
even despite the distance.. i always kept in mind
that communication leads to appreciation and evaluation
trust is essential, without it there's bound to be problems
jealousy occurs, ending up with one controlling
which often leads to mutual distrust
distance is a great help to slowly open up to this relationship
without the incessant presence of the partner
the romance stays kindled since we're not around each other 24/7
though, its frustrating that there isnt intimacy,
no hugging and kissing, the time difference is such a killer too :(
difficulties in connecting due to lack of eye contact
and no walks or dinners together :((
but then again, it makes the meetings so much more intense
then how it would be with a local relationship
its the quality not the quantity.
well right now, i just really wish i have him beside me
cuddling on the couch, laughing to silly sitcom
or maybe just looking at each other..
i wanna wake up to march, not christmas, not new year..
just the month of march. i love you baby-.
