I think today is a special day.
It’s a leap year and this month happens to have 29 days. Today makes our 6 month anniversary from 08/29/11. To me, these months have gone by fast and a lot has happened. I must say that there are more ups than downs. For the downs, it was really down.. But we overcame those obstacles. Trust and communication is still strong between us and those are the two most important things in a relationship, especially in a long distance one (in my opinion). The distance separating us from being with each other is hard to cope with but it is doable. As of right now, I’m happy.
When you’re in a long distance relationship, trust and communication is key. Without it, the relationship will go down hill. Another thing is jealousy and it will occur often. You’ll be jealous of the people who get to SEE him/her more than you do, you’ll be jealous of the people who get’s to BE with him/her more than you do, you’ll even be jealous when you’re not the reason for his/her smile. I’ve honestly felt “clingy” recently, only because I’m afraid of losing a special person. If I don’t have the attention, I feel like someone else is getting it. Reassurance is also another good thing because it gives somewhat of a relief and comfort. When you’re reminded of the other person’s feelings towards you, it makes you feel good inside because you know that the relationship is still going strong. Not only are these important in a long distance relationship, any type of relationship can relate.
If the person you have feelings for is someone you can’t be with physically, that doesn’t mean you can’t have a relationship. All of that is extra. If the person means a lot to you and both are willing to put in effort, it can happen. But trust me, it’s hard. Especially when all you want to do is to be in the arms of your significant other.
