It's been a while since we've updated anything on this blog, as our lives took over and we got busy doing other stuff. I thought I'd give everyone that was / is interested in a closure update - long distance relationships can and do work if both people are invested in each other. Three years ago, Monique moved to the UK to study and we moved in together. A year ago, on June 1st 2019, we got married at our local council hall. It was a small, but beautiful wedding with close family and friends :) Now we are just living our lives, day-by-day, trying to make the best out of the pandemic and enjoying each others company. Thank you for following us, and if you are in a long-distance relationship, don't lose hope, don't give up. Times will be tough, rough and heavy, but if you love each other and are willing to put in the work, you will perserve. All the best to everyone out there, Monique and Patryk

So...this is my boyfriend and I. I’m 16, he’s 17...we live exactly 3,062 miles apart. I met him skiing, in the US where I live, he lives in the UK... I met him when I was 12...we were friends for three years. We’ve been dating since 2/7/15 <3, he came and visited me this summer. I know some people think long distance relationships don;t work but honestly...those people are so, so wrong...yes...it takes a lot of time and a lot of effort and yes, it does put some stress on the relationship. But...when you’re sitting here...and you know you love this person...you cant just give up. Especially if you know the other person feels the same way...so yes, I know some people say ldr doesn’t work...but to me they will always be wrong...because mine does. (and someday it won’t have to be ldr). Sorry for that extremely random rant. But I’m just so happy.

I find myself getting lost in phone kisses, because for a millisecond my mind believes that I am truly kissing you. And nothing can comfort me like my lips on yours. And for a second my brain thinks I am with you, not hundreds of miles away.

Until the day we are together, I'll just get lost in those moments.

(I feel like we're passing notes in class and our teacher is one of those weird 'lizard teachers' who's eyes kinda move to the many different sides of her head when she notices something such as notes being passed in her class, which is strictly forbidden because of anarchy of the school system and sticking it to the man, which she led in 1937 when she was a sophomore and was dating Johnny Baker, the 'hottest' and most conservative boy in her school, but because she led the rally, his parents forbid him of ever speaking to her again and she grew up to be bitter and never fall in love with anyone ever again, and now she has a great distaste for notes and passing them like school time crushes and couples sweetly kissing each others cheeks and foreheads while holding hands in the hall way. And this is why I must text you like we are school time crushes passing notes in class, to prove love prevails in the most primordial of ways.)
