Lin thoughts: How do long distance relationships do it?

1762494360

hm...those are really great questions. my relationship actually started as a long distance one, and it definitely wasn’t easy. the constant longing to see him and be with him grew heavier as the days went by. there were times when i questioned if it was even worth it because being apart can feel so limiting. there’s only so much you can do together, and after a while, it becomes repetitive and exhausting. sometimes it felt like no matter how much we tried, something was always missing.
i’d be lying if i said i never thought about losing feelings because of the distance. it’s hard to stay emotionally connected when you can’t share the little things every day. but we were lucky enough to spend about two years living together, and that time changed everything. now that we’re back in a long distance setup, it feels different. i’m more grounded, more patient, and i understand what we’re working toward.
since we both have our own end goals, it gives us something to hold on to...something that keeps us motivated to finish what we started so we can be together again soon. i think in the end, it really depends on the people and the situation. if we never had the chance to live together, i’m not sure if we’d still be this strong. but because we did, it reminded us why all the waiting is worth it.
if i were to give any advice, it would be to never let distance define your relationship. it’s okay to miss them and even to struggle sometimes, but make sure you both keep communicating and showing up for each other in little ways. consistency, reassurance, and understanding go a long way. focus less on how far apart you are and more on what you’re building together, because that’s what really keeps it alive.

i apologize for the long response lol but yes
