This is the official, first and probably not the last post on why I love (a little) but mostly despise long distance relationships. I'm a list person- so if you wondering why this post, along with most others has a recurring theme in layout; that's why. I make lists for everything, and I could probably make a post about why I love lists...ok, back on topic.
Top reasons why I love long distance relationships. (Let me clarify first that Kyle and I get May-August together when university is done).
1) Our communication is strong! We are forced to talk about, and through everything. This is mostly an effort to keep updated in each others day-to-day lives, struggles, successes etc. Our rule is that we don't keep secrets from each other, and we make it a goal to at least once a day have a conversation of decent length. We also do devotions with one another, this is immensely vital to our relationship in so many ways.
2) Our time together is special, we don't take for granted the precious days we have together, and make the most of the little things, i.e, watching a show, or going for a coffee run. We make an effort to see each other as often as we can. I think the longest we have gone has been a month, but usually the average is 2-3 weeks depending on how busy/not busy we are. We try our very best to divide our time fairly, and this includes figuring out how to balance time with one another and their family.
Bad things:
1) I hate Kyle not being close when I would love to call him up and have him come over when I really need/miss him. Like today for example, I've been feeling pretty crappy (achey, headache etc)- I just want to snuggle with him and relax for the evening...alas, not a reality.
2) I miss the day-to-day life with him. Period. I miss seeing him everyday, hugs and kisses, and I miss not having someone to hold my hand when I am watching a terrifying episode of Criminal Minds.
*All in all, our relationship is great and I love that we get summers together. I know that lots of people say that ldr's are basically impossible and a nightmare. They are challenging, and hard, but if you are dedicated they are SO worth it! I wouldn't trade who we are, and how we do things, because I know at the end of the day our love is stronger than ever. (Ok, also I apologize for the incorrect and zealous use of comma's).
I'm sure there are so many more things I could say about this, so many more that are beyond surface level...I'm keeping it simple, because my love for Kyle is simple and my love for him is strong and I know this will never fail.
Love, moi.
