LDR = Long Distance Relationships


people often ask me how it is we managed? why bother?

i can hardly count the amount of times i've heard the words 'too far', 'too hard', etc etc.

to most people, LDR = impossible.


well... i don't blame most people.

most people would not want to only be able to hear their partner's voice.

most people would not want to give up temptations because somewhere, 10,000km away, someone will get hurt.

most people would not want to go through the emotional torment of saying goodbye.

most people would not want to not be able to hug your loved one when he or she is hurt.

most people, would not want to feel helpless.

most people would not want to have to live life tearing whenever you see something which reminds them of him or her.

and well, i suppose most people would not want to have to stare at couples on the street and feel that pinch of jealousy.


However, i guess most people have not yet been lucky enough to find a person special enough to take this chance with.

And i suppose, most people will not have loved enough to not want to let go despite the hardships.


I'm not being arrogant, nor am i putting down the average jane/joe.

All i am doing is offering an explanation, however cheesy or corny it may sound, to the existence, and survival, of the small percentage of LDRs in this world.


I hope, my dear friends, that this answers your question(s).

Goodnight.
