Good morning! It’s currently 12 AM as I write this… Yep,
nice and early huh? Recently I’ve been thinking about long
distance relationships, mainly because of movies (awesome reason huh?) Well
here is my opinions and what I think makes a long distance relationship last.
Before I actually start, I want to state I’m currently not in a long distance
relationship nor have I ever been in one, but I have done some serious research
and thinking.
Many people think that long distance relationships are impossible and they never work out, but to me a long distance relationship is the same as a traditional relationship. I think long distance relationships are beautiful. You know what they say, distance only makes the heart grow fonder. Anyway, here is what I think every long distance relationship needs.
Trust. If you want a long distance
relationship or any relationship in general, you have to create trust.
Seriously, what’s the point of dating someone you have no trust for? Always
anxious and worried if you’re partner is cheating on you… that’s unhealthy.
Anyway, don’t be anxious or jealous if you don’t know what you’re partner is
doing every second of the day. Just chill. Space is good. Plus whenever you’re
not talking to your partner appreciate them for making time for you. And if they cheat on you, they're not even worth a teardrop. (ALL SASS INTENDED.)
Build security. No matter
what, once in a while someone is going to feel insecure. Afraid that it won’t
work out or that someone will fall into temptation and fall in love with someone
else. Becoming forgotten. During these times you really have to remind your
partner that you really love them and tell them to just trust you, make them feel secure.
Communication. Since you
guys won’t be seeing each other, it’s essential that you guys communicate. Take
full advantage of technology. Go text each other selfies or make FaceTime your
new best friend. If you’re too busy, you don’t have to have full blown
conversations for hours, instead do simple stuff like saying good morning and
good night every day or just keep each other updated with your life. By the way, sometime feelings change and
you lose the spark for the other. Most of the time it’s due to lack of
communication. Forgetting what you love about the other person… That’s why I think
it’s essential to communicate, but of course there are exceptions. Sometimes
over time you just lose the spark and that’s okay. Grow from that and move on.
Respect. Yea… every
relationships needs this. I don’t think I need to explain this, but for those
of you who are curious what I mean… respect… if you’re partner is uncomfortable
about you going to that wild party, respect that and don’t go.
Never lose faith. Last but not least, never lose faith. Long distance
relationships require a lot of work, but it can definitely work out. Also, it
worth it if you really love this person ^-^.
I just want you lovely couples to know I'm rooting for you guys!!
Okay,
I sound corny, so I shall stop here. I’m sure there’s other things that make
long distance relationships last, but every relationship is different and I feel
like these are the most important, well to me at least. I hoped this helped
someone or was just a random entertaining read. Until next time, bye!!
