LONG DISTANCE RELATIONSHIPS

Sir,

People find it hard to be in what is termed ‘long distance relationships’ and I cannot say that surprises me because we are not the same, especially when it comes to matters and technical hitches of the heart.

 A long distance relationship encompasses two people who love each other; two souls who are truly attached although they are segregated by distance. Some people manage that and some don’t.

It must be hard to close your eyes and sleep every night not knowing if your partner has eaten, if he is safe. What I just said is a minor distress, the main worry that keeps people awake all night is the ‘am I still the one?
What if someone has displaced me’? thoughts.

It’s impossible for him not to date someone else for such a long time we are apart.
Well, those types of questions are normal, it’s your right to feel that way. No one can express the running of feelings, let alone scrutinising or controlling them. We all love to see the people we love smiling and happy every day, that makes us feel better.

It’s even better now since we are living in the modest world, where we are administrated by technology. We have many media options we can use to communicate, where we can do video calling as much as we want to see each other’s faces.

Remind

Video calling makes things better, it draws you closer to your soul, you can see them, laugh together and be able to remind yourselves of each other’s smiles. A photo is also one thing that can help you reminisce about your partner, seeing his picture whenever you get into the house or whenever you sleep. You just feel like you have a reason to wake up because you are still holding onto that soul.

The best thing to do in long distance relationships is not to take everything to heart, I don’t mean withdraw your feelings towards your partner that you love but try not to overthink what you guys have together. You may end up being addicted to that soul and that is not healthy at all.

 I think life would treat you better if you would try to take things easy as much as its hard. One thing you must know is that feelings cost an arm and a leg compared to anything in the world.
What I am trying to say is that in these relationships; let’s try to leave space for disappointments, tears and broken hearts.

Feelings

I say this because we react differently to heartbreaking news such that one may even consider suicide without thinking. Feelings are not called, sometimes we cannot even explain what we feel, and they just take over.
As much as feelings don’t knock or ring a door bell before they take over, it’s always best to know what we want, know what makes us happy and be able to not let them take over.
