Long Distance Relationship

Long Distance Relationship...*sigh*...Jeezz, about 3 or 4 months ago that was probably the phrase that I dreaded so much. The thought of not being there with my boyfriend, the thought of goodbye, the thought of losing communication and everything. I dreaded everything about LDR. Hmm, but now, as time passes by, as I'm going through this "Long Distance Relationship"....well, I think it's not that bad :)

Sure I can't be with my boyfriend, sure now I am not be able to do A LOT OF THINGS together with my boyfriend anymore, definitely sure we are APART, exactly continents and 4 hour time difference apart, but hey, all of those things are just the tip of the iceberg. Everything is about perspective, when you look at LDR that way, and I mean the sad I-can't-be-with-my-boyfriend or we're-apart cry-cry-cry, trust me, you won't even survive 1 month of LDR.

How about we look at things this way. Yes, I can't be with him, but I can still talk to him, I can still see his face everyday on Skype-Video Call. In fact, I AM GRATEFUL. Out of everything, I still have the opportunity and resources to see his face everyday. Not everyone can get that kind of opportunity. I mean, back in the old days, couples have to survive LDR only with letters, telegrams, and emails (as the technology progressed. Hell, now I can TALK and SEE his face through Video Call, that's a big thing ! I mean, compared to the old days, I'm lucky, very lucky.

Yes, we'll be apart. But maybe, us being apart is what make us stronger. Being apart will trial your loyalty, your patient and your love for your boy/girlfriend. Maybe after all of this ends, after we finally can be together, our relationship will be stronger than ever. Why ? because we have survived such big obstacle like LDR, if we can survive it, maybe we are meant to be together.

And the thing about LDR, you can not live with in complaints. Just be grateful for what you have, be patient and be loyal and as loving as ever to your boy/girlfriend.

And BELIEVE, believe that everything will be better in time. Believe in you boy/girlfriend, and more importantly, believe in God.
