Distance matters... it really does.


I never really believed that having a long distance relationship is that hard. I always thought that your love for that person is enough, even though distance separates you from each other. I always thought that distance is not an issue in having a relationship and more importantly keeping it alive... but I guess I was wrong... I should have known better.


Though love, by itself, should be enough or should I say, the very reason to have and keep a relationship going, but in a relationship where distance separates the two people involved comes into the picture, things are not that simple anymore. Love is no longer sufficient by itself to maintain the relationship and sad to say, it should have been enough but I guess, it isn't...at least that's what I think and is experiencing...



Trust, should also come into play hand in hand with honesty. Patience also plays a vital role. Understanding pretty much has an important part in the life of a long distance relationship. And having the "time" to spend quality moments with your loved one, despite the distance should also be part of the story... especially time... one should make time for your loved one...I should make time for my loved one...



But then again, here comes doubt to stir things up. And to make things worse, temptation also is a major threat, and this applies to both sides and not only to one. Fear is also present in the picture, and it grows more and more especially when doubt turns into certain uncertainty and finally into the loss of trust or more clearly, the absence of it.



Despite theis chaos and the struggles that make it so hard to maintain such type of a relationship, I have tried my best to make time, to give trust and to be honest in return, to be patient and to be free from all the doubts that the distance in between has created... Yes, there had been temptations, I have felt fear, doubt has knocked at my door and I have felt certain uncertainty, but still I believe that there is hope, that things will be better, despite not seeing your loved one in a regular basis. I still cling to such concept, that hope will make things better... I hope that it will.



Long distance relationships are very exhausting to maintain. Both sides feel the strain, the pain and the agony of waiting. Both sides feel the uncertainty, the fears and the distractions... Yes, both sides are having a hard time and not just to only one. But I guess, I just need to believe more, to trust more, and to hope harder, that I will do the right choices, and I will be in the right path until the day that we will be together... and I pray that you will also do your part... because on this road, both sides need to act as one. Both sides need to be united and both sides need to understand that all the things we meet on this road affects both, and not only one.



I never really believed that having a long distance relationship is that hard. I always thought that your love for that person is enough... but I guess I was wrong... Now I know better. I hope you know better too....
