Got a number of friends who are very vocal about how they desperately wish that they have boyfriends. I do have one yet I still find myself unfortunate.
I'm into a long - distance relationship for more than a year now. How did it happen? I'm not entirely sure. I just knew that it was what I wanted to do. But now frankly, i feel like being with someone oceans apart from you is as bad as being with no one at all.
As time passes by, reality hits me like flash. Long - distance relationship is no ordinary choice. It's not something you just jump into then expect to live happily ever after in the end. It is all about sacrifice and commitment, hand in hand. Sacrifice because you'll be away from the one you love, and commitment to endure that sacrifice. The situation puts me into this really tiny world with very limited opportunities for love. It's overwhelmingly suffocating. It's a constant struggle to keep myself in neutral--away from nostalgia on one end and far from numbness on the other.
For how long I can keep up? I don't know. Probably as long as he is worth sacrificing for.
