THE LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP

It didn’t start off as one. We were like most regular couples. We got to call each other up at 1am to plan a rendevous at the closest 7-11 so we could just hug each other and have cheap ice cream.

But now here we are, where even “1am” isn’t the same due to different timezones. We are left to resort to digital hugs and kisses where the only warmth we’d get from it is the burning screen of our mobile devices.

No, it’s not the same. Long distance relationships are not easy. It doesn’t matter whether you’re in a city 2 hours away or in a country 2 days away by travel. Regardless the distance, it isn’t easy.

We don’t get to have meals together after work anymore. We don’t get to watch movies halfway just to fall asleep at the best part together anymore.

But even though long distance relationships aren’t easy, sometimes the person you’re doing it with can make it easier.

It’s easier with a person who understands why you had to leave. For reasons such as your career–which ultimately leads to a stable future and with your partner in mind for sure.

It’s easier with a person who likes to live vicariously through you. When instead of feeling jealous that they can’t experience the wonders you are going through, they thrive and feel happy for you.

It’s easier with a person who shares the same vision as you do. Not in career paths but in life paths–someone who shares the same idea of what fulfilment is.

And even when we’re 9,000 miles apart from each other and I’m feeling like I could break my credit card to buy a flight ticket home; the idea of being prepared for our future always stops me. I can’t get the future I envisioned without the education I am currently learning, across the Atlantic Ocean.

And he understands that more than I do. He understands that I’m only away so I can return to him. And I can return to him with wisdom and knowledge that will make our life together thrive. There is no rush.

Sure, at 23, I’m watching all my friends walk down the aisle and start to feed families of three instead of just two.

Photos of weddings and newborns make me think sometimes that that could be me had I not taken this opportunity to go so far away to chase my dreams.

But that’s exactly what this is. An opportunity to chase my dreams.

A crazy person would give that up just to rush down the aisle with someone who has already promised them that they will wait at the altar for as long as it takes. There is no rush.

He promised. I trust.

I promised. He trusts.

For as long as we share the same vision, goals, and dreams in what our future looks like, it’s not going to be hard to be apart for a couple of years; when we have the rest of our lives waiting for us.

And if you’re reading this, I’m sorry we can’t hold hands when it rains, I’m sorry I can’t get nurse you back to health when you’re sick, I’m sorry I can’t help you tell the hairstylist exactly how to do your hair, I’m sorry we can’t do regular girlfriend/boyfriend things.

But I promise this is only temporary (even though you’re the one that has to keep reminding me this as opposed to the other way round) and when I return we can do mediocre, stereotypical, cliche couple things again.

I miss you and I miss you every second we are apart, but so that we can feel normal, here’s one cliche couple thing to say:

You’re always in my heart.

Remember, friends, LDR is not impossible. You just have to be with the right person with the right state of mind to make it work. It’s okay to not be the cliche couple for a while, cos when goals are met, you can be as cliche with your partner for AS LONG as you guys shall live.

Live in positive energy.

Love in positive energy.

The future awaits!
