Honestly speaking, I have been involved in some occasions where I communicate in a very long distance in between. It's hard enough to make local relationships work, but having miles, and sometimes even an ocean between you makes it even more difficult. However, successful long distance relationships can and do exist. It will survive as long as you are willing to work it out. In what of I do believe is, it is not the distance that separate between two peoples, but it is just that sometimes people need to have their time of their own. Well not a very long time, but a time of which a person will realise it's enough to make them feel missing of someone. I'm a normal human being and I do miss someone. In fact, I do miss that someone so much, I will think of her on every hour of my day. What she's been doing, how's her work, what she had for breakfast, how's her exam preparation going on and etc. Thousands of thank you's to YM, Skype, Facebook, Twitter because they simply make our life seems closer to each other - well at least in a virtual world. It's a total new experience for me and so far I'm enjoying it very much. What I can conclude for long distance relationship is, I could have time of my own, and a person who I can share my life with and simply makes my everyday life be more meaningful. What I meant of a meaningful life is a life less dramatic. I have had enough of dramas in my life. Let me tell you guys, dramas are only meant for TV shows, not to be performed in real life. All I want to have is just an ordinary, warm and lovable life. The word is happy. You can define happy for everything you want, but for me, happy is a life where you don't have to be worry of anything but just enjoying your life as what it is. I am happy. So guys, long distance relationship is all about a balanced relationship between partners; a relationship built on strong foundations of trust, understanding and determination to make it work. The two partners should be reasonable about their expectations and willing to cooperate so that this relationship can lead to a happy ending. Always bear in mind, a long distance relationship is not meant to be forever, it is just for a temporary time and there is a relationship where there is no distance between two lovers at the end of the day, if you know what I mean. ;)
