Going the Distance.

Distance –

The Extent of space between two objects or places; an intervening space. The fact or condition of being apart; to leave far behind.

I DO NOT WANT A LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP or at least now I’m beginning to change my mind. Methinks that this is the hardest type of it all. It’s not that I think the other half will sooner or later cheat. It’s just that I cannot stand the space. I am a “misser”, I am the “Can we meet later?” half of the relationship, I am more than sure that the distance is going to kill me.

All the love teams under this type of relationship surely did not choose this for themselves; I am sure all of them also want to be together all day, every day, all the time. But because we live in a fast changing world and people work for the ever growing companies run by extremely rich, profit loving bossings, a lot of couple we know are experiencing this oh-he/she-is-gone-for-like-a-whole-month situation. A whole month might be fair enough but how about those who do not see each other for a year? Anniversaries celebrated through cellular phones and instant messaging, Christmases via DHL, summers at the opposite side of the world, how hard can it be? How can they hold on and make each other feel secure?

 I have friends who are undergoing this he’s-gone-for-so-long phase and I am continuously amazed by how they keep the love burning! These people made me believe in love, yes they are away for a few thousand mile but they happily give back by taking the extra million miles to make their loved ones feel special. Despite the crazy time zones, the Everest high phone bills… they are still in love.

My Friends made my maturity level take one notch higher. You don’t have to see each other every day to assure a person of the love you have. Maybe it’s in the way you communicate with them.

In Love all is fair – When the world invented the work-abroad phenomenon, it also invented the right technology to help support your dire needs. Just make sure you put it to good use.

To all my friends, Please use the right words, say the important things and don’t forget the sweet nothings. Yehess!!

Honestly, I am still not a fan, I am still not convinced. I still ignore the fact that I may fall under this kind of relationship in the future, but I am starting to believe that Love transcends Distance. No matter where he is geographically, he still has a special place in your heart where he is unmoved.

|| Minsan ng natanong ang aking idol na si Ramon Bautista-

Boy: Master, ano po bang magandang gawin para magwork ang isang Long Distance Romantic Relationship?

Ramon Bautista: Bakit ba hindi nalang natin tanggalin ang salitang Long Distance at gawin nalang nating “Romantic Relationship”?||
