Keep your head up

Well when it comes to long distance relationships, you have to treat them like a fragile delicate flower, needing certain things only nature can offer them. I will start by saying that attempting to do long distance is not an easy process. It never gets easier over time either, in fact in most cases I would say it only gets harder the longer you are forced to be away. The number on thing to keep in mind is that the future will hold such a promising prize, the prize of eventually being with your partner again.

When attempting to start my long distance relationship, I had no idea what I was in for and neither did he. I was scared to death of what was to come and the only thing I could do was dive in and give it everything I had.

An important part of being in a long distance relationship is in order to make it work you have to be willing to open your WHOLE heart to them. You have to let them inhabit every inch of it, making a nest right in the middle. I know this is hard for most of us to do. Easier said than done right? I know this. I promise you though that the love that comes from doing this will be worth it in the end.

I was asked so many times how I managed to do it and what was my secret. I had people tell me they felt sorry for me and did not envy my relationship. I have also had people tell me how strong I was.

Let me make one thing clear, it was not and is not easy being strong and there is no secret behind it. In fact I have found it to be a day by day process. You will never know when you will wake up feeling hurt, sad, jealous, bitter and even feel like giving up. I have cried myself to sleep many nights and I have made the shameful call to my guy apologizing for my jealousy and mistrust.

Long distance takes something I think every person is capable of, you just have to believe in yourself and believe in love.

Keep your head up, everything works out in the end.

Hello hopeless Romantics

I am starting this blog to give hope to those who are attempting to do long distance or are currently doing long distance and need a pick me up. It is not easy trying to stretch love across the pond, across the country or even simply across the state. It is going to be hard and at times you are going to feel like its not worth doing but all I can say to you is on those days when you feel all hope is gone, find some new inspiration.  Find ways of reminding yourself of why you started this relationship in the first place. Listen to a song, or shuffle through photos, or you could start the new frenzy that is taking over, Pinterest. I have a board dedicated to just my significant other and when I am feeling down I browse through the quotes and photos to find that calming feeling and the love that I have for him.

All I can say to you is that do not let anyone tell you that it is not worth it or it wont work, because your love story is different and unique and if you love someone enough to even attempt long distance than there is enough love there to make it last.

Time comes and goes, but true love lasts a lifetime.
