Long distance relationship has taught me so much in love and life. Even with its inconvenience, i have come to an agreement with myself that it is the kind of relationship that works best for me.
Ever since my first ever in high school up to my present one, my relationships all fall on this category.
As i recall, it was hard..it is hard but then, i've come to live with it all these years and as observed, most people i know belong to this kind of set-up nowadays.
It's frustrating having to live on text messages, voice calls, instant messages and pictures posted on online social networks however, these things taught me the value of patience, faith, and compromise. And i can proudly say that putting up with LDRs helped me so much in my emotional maturation and stability.
I have seen a lot of people drifting apart with their friends the moment they meet the love of their lives; worst dropping some in the process of creating a world of their own wherein no one, other than themselves can be a part of. It's exciting for some time and i salute those few who still stick with each other even when the time comes that the excitement wears off.
But mostly(as observed), people get tired of that selfish world. They yearn for the company of their friends and begin to blame the other person who was once the apple of their eyes for keeping them prisoner in a world they two have actually built together.
I could have been one of those people. But then, my relationships didn't permit me to always be with my special someone thus, giving me time to be with my friends and enjoy my youth...saving me from that dreadful dead-end.
Yes, it's hard to maintain but it is rewarding after all.
