I’m tired of girls trying to invalidate their own feelings during times of pain, especially to their friends. Your break up meant something. That friendship you lost was a hard blow. I understand why you feel tired this semester. Sometimes this “modern woman” stereotype is patriarchy’s last attempt; patriarchy disguised as feminism. You don’t have to be “wise beyond your years”; your pain and crying does not mean you are not intelligent. If you feel your friends demand justification for your pain and ordeals, they’re not friends. You’re strong but human. Remind yourself emotional space is part of liberation.

Hi everyone! My name is Jo and I’m going to tell you a bit about my situation and why I’d really appreciate your help in getting me to Vancouver to see my girlfriend for her birthday and 29th months together. Personally, I really hate asking people for money (even my own family), but after bringing this up to Nisse, I thought that maybe I should give it a try. First, I guess I’ll tell you a bit about Nisse and I:

Nisse and I have been together since January 2015 and had been friends for about a year before we started dating. All in all we’ve known each other for over 3 years. Nisse lives near Vancouver and I live in South Texas, but am finishing up my undergrad in the DFW area, which is located in the North Texas region. We’re both making it work. Long distance really sucks, as I’m sure many people can agree with. While it would be a bit easier financially for Nisse to come down to Texas for a visit, it’s kind of impossible due to personal issues. Since I have a bit of freedom due to not living at home at the moment, and being a bit older, I have the opportunity to fly up there, but I absolutely do not have the money to go. I want to be honest about my situation though because there’s nothing I dislike more than people thinking I’m just taking their money because I don’t want to work for it myself.

I am the child of Mexican immigrants and first generation college student that comes from a working-class home. I’m the second one out of the four of us to get a college education in my family. My parents didn’t have a chance to get a single day’s worth of schooling, but they moved here in order to give us a chance at making a better living than them. I’m currently a second semester senior, finishing up my B.S. in Psychology with a minor in LGBT Studies. Currently, I pay for 95% of all my expenses. That includes tuition, housing, food, and anything else I may need. I can be honest and say that my parents do still pay for my phone bill and car/health insurance, but otherwise I am on my own. I work part-time for about 15+ hours a week for only $7.60 an hour, and go to school full-time. On top of that I work in a research lab 10+ hours a week, am a McNair scholar, am working on finishing my Honors Thesis, do a bit of volunteer work here and there, and am Vice President and Treasurer of two student organizations. Most of my time and energy goes into making my Curriculum Vitae the best it can be and keeping my grades up, so that I can get into a PhD program in Counseling Psychology in the near future. While I am taking a year off before I take my GRE and apply to programs next December, I have a lot on my plate to get done before then.

I live paycheck to paycheck and while I do get a small stipend through my research program it’s really money that I already need to begin with. I’ve tried to raise up the money to get to Nisse, but it’s proving to be near impossible. I can really only save up a few hundred dollars at one time, but that’s not even enough for the plane ticket to get there. From the research I’ve done at the moment a round-trip place ticket would be $450-$550. Additionally, I can’t stay with Nisse due to her living at home and her parents not really knowing who I am. Since I’m not familiar with the area I want to get a hotel room near where she lives and the hotels in that area range from $140-$170 a night. I hope to at least stay a week in Vancouver before coming back. Not counting meals and miscellaneous items, it would cost me roughly over $1,750 to get to Vancouver. Plane tickets may go down, so I’m really hoping for that. Hotel is kind of a fixed rate, but what can you do?

Honestly, the past year has been incredibly rough on me. I’ve been stuck in my college town since January of last year with only a couple 1-2 week breaks every now and then. School has been kicking my ass and consuming my life to the point that my mental health has seriously suffered and to a certain point my classes and research as well. Nisse is one of the very few things that keep me motivated and going. She makes me feel like I’m worth something and that what I’m doing is important even if I don’t think it is, but the distance has really been getting to us. There are just some things you can’t convey over a Skype call or through text and I just want the opportunity to see her in person. I also want to get the opportunity to meet her parents so that hopefully they’ll let Nisse come visit in Texas sometime in the near future, so I would really appreciate it if you could donate even a dollar to help get me to Nisse. Anything at all will help. If you have any other questions for me I wouldn’t mind answering them! You can contact me @kuroocrisis on twitter or email me at [email protected].

Thank you so much guys,

Jo

People talk about how hard long distance relationships are but nobody talks about the struggle of long distance friendships. I would give my left leg right now to just be able to sit in our pjs and watch movies or to just be able to give a big fucking hug.
