Really boring crap. Seriously.

I suppose it's Murphy's Law, acting, as it does, so out of synch with the way I want it to work. This last week has not been the best, save for a few fantastic moments that nearly make up for it. Christian leaves the day after tomorrow, and as yet I have spent only one night with him in the past week and a half, and various snatches of daylight ( Read more... )

I'm supposed to be packing and doing laundry, so this is going to be quick! :)

Okay, I won't lie.... Long distance relationships suck! Having been in one for four years I can say this without hesitation. It's stressful and there's lots pain. However, I have found some really good things can come out of them.

Fist off, the main thing is you find out how much you care about the other person. Because there is no way a casual relationship is worth all the pain.

Secondly, I found that it has taught me how to really communicate my feelings, mostly because the majority of your conversations are over the phone.

And lastly, it can get hard to have faith in someone who isn't always right there next to you helping you get through life. You have to learn how to really trust the other person.

So, that's my fast two cents worth. You are a lovely girl, and I know that everything that you truly want, you will go after and get. I got to go! I'll write to everyone once I get to Chicago! Love you lots!

Thank you for the reality checks. Christian left yesterday and I just read your reply, which had all these points I was already vaguely aware of but didn't take seriously because... well, I don't really know why. But the good thing is, I think I am not freaking out today because I do feel that this is stronger bond- relationship AND friendshipwise- than any of my other long distance adventures. I miss him (of course) but I'm not panicking. This is a good sign. Guys don't get any of this. All guys can say to me is, "That sucks for you." But you're smart. Thanks again.
