When you sign on for something that hard, and that enduring, it seems almost impossible to live each day. Every minute passes by, stretching on like an hour. You just have to remember that if you trully love that person, and if they trully love you, it’ll make everything that much more sweeter when you see each other, when you hold each other for the first time in however long. It can be really hard. I mean, REALLY hard, and I’m sure it is, but you have to look forward to the moment when you see each other again. Think about that moment and replay over and over again in your head. Remember that even though time may not be going by fast now, your life flys before your eyes before—what do you know?—it’s over. That means that you guys will see each other sooner rather than later. All you can do is comfort yourself with the past experiences and think about how great the future will come to be. I know no one has money these days, and people can’t afford to be loosely spending, but I’ve known people who will just go somewhere or visit someone on a whim, buying plane tickets the moment they feel like going somewhere and just doing it. That’s not to say that it’s logical in these economic times, but it’s a small treat. If you can’t go to where they are, then you’ll just have to wait it out until the sweet end of the wait, the union of you two meeting again (yes, I know I’m corny). It will be better, I assure you. Meanwhile, while you live in limbo, just try and email as much as possible, talk on the phone, text, IM, whatever and however it is possible, keep in touch. Too many relationships that could have been great fell apart due to lack of contact or distance. Please just remember though that if you really, really, REALLY love this person, and vice versa, then it will work out, and all of this seperation and distance will seem like a bad dream. Everything is going to be alright. Hope everything works out.
