reACHing into thE abyss
romantic relationships..
there are many necessary elements and components that make up a happy and healthy [who decides on this stuff anyway??] relationship.
a solid friendship as a foundation is always good. then, there is mutual trust and respect. add a dash of fun. and a slice of lust. voila! instant romantic relationship.
long distance relationships..
i doubt there’s anything you could teach me about these..
*sigh*
what is the point of staying in a [romantic] relationship, if you see each other twice a year for 2 days at a time? [it didnt start out this way.. maybe times are a-changing.. but things seem more expensive lately..]
there is the goal of eventually, some glorious day in the unknown indefinable future, finally living in the same place. this is an elusive dream.. always diminishing like mist, before actual attainment. its gut-wrenching. its heartache-inducing. its a pain in the.. wallet..
*dammit*
so, why stay together? self-deception? self-delusion? eternal optimism? stubbornness? ...
*cowardice?*
*fear?*
the yearning is terrible and never ceases. the ups and downs are more intense.
i’ve never ached so much in my entire life, just to be touched..
*touch*

I know a few people who are struggling with long distance relationships. But they see their SOs (I hate that word) more often than you, it seems... where does he stay? What does he do?
Hang in there!

Oh! it all got ruined by the font change!
i think long-distance relationships have the tendency to be very deceptive. like blogging, in a way.
although i guess that does partly depend on your personality. but if you're a wordy-person (like me) and most of your contact with the other person is based on writing, it's very easy to get entangled in an illusionary intimacy that has very little basis in reality.
i guess i've just never really heard of any good long-distance relationships.
yeah - the long distance thing sux..
he's in stel [studying] im in the north west province, working.. we've been doing the long distance thing for 4 years now.. some days it does feel like an illusion, like he's just a figment of my imagination.. a ghostly voice over the phone, or a very intimate penpal..
we do what we can..
mike..
thanks for the hanging kitty! my imagination makes it look cute..
where in the northwest are you from?
..same place as you, it seems..
