Long distance relationship. Also known as LDR. Distance sucks. Someone cheats. Lost feelings. Whatsoever. Long distance relationships are one of the best, according to the elderly. It’s tough, and really depressing. You miss your significant other day by day. You wish you could be with them every single day but here comes distance in your way. You both can’t be together on your 8, 9, 10, whatever it is months together. Or even your anniversary together. Just those special days. Then there’s this other person getting your relationship. Being the “boyfriend for now until he’s here” person, then suddenly you fall for that guy who’s with you now.

Long distance— it takes two people to work things out. To endure the pain. To take the challenge. To swear that everything will be worth it in the end. It takes a lot of courage of facing this fear that you both have. It’s about being brave. It takes love, loyalty, honesty, and commitment being in a LDR. When things go wrong you two are willing to solve those problems that you have. It’s about loving each other compassionately and dearly. Despite the distance, you’ll love that other person no matter what. When you love someone, you don’t have to be with them 24/7. You don’t have to communicate with them every second of the day. No. Not at all. As long as you both know that deep inside, you will always be in each other’s hearts. 

You see, I never thought I’d be in one until I met this guy. His name’s Jayson. Before we were officially together, he’d tell me a lot about being in the military. How being in a part of the US Marine Corps is his dream. How having this pride, and also honor in him is the best thing in the world. And also how thinking about other’s people’s lives is more important than his own. It really struck me how his attitude and view towards life is different from mine. But anyway, I never thought we’d be together. 

June 19 2011, he left for boot camp. Three long months of boot camp. We talked about how tough and challenging it is being in a long distance relationship. Especially when your significant other is in the military. All I’ve been doing now is miss him…more and more. I wait for the day to come. For him to finally arrive. From that three months, our communication was through letters. ONLY through letters. I don’t know how I’m coping with this honestly. But there’s ten more days ‘till he’s back home.

Yesterday, I got his LAST letter. This week is his last week in training. Next week he graduates. This.Is.Only.The.Beginning.Of.Our.Journey.Through.Life.Together.

I don’t know. Yes, distance really do suck. But in the end, it is really worth it.

Tomorrow marks our nine months of being together. (Sept.9, 2011) I am bummed out that he can’t be here but that’s fine. We got both our whole lives ahead of us. June, July and August have passed. There’s ten more days until you’re here. See you real soon my love. <3
