Long Distance (600 words)

This blog will be about long distance relationships and how sometimes it may work or it may not work. Most of the time, it usually doesn’t work because one of them cheat on each other or the fighting usually gets really bad throughout the relationship. As we speak, I know someone who is in a long distance relationship. When I hear about it, I realize how much it’s similar to a lot of people I know. For example, my boyfriend is 374 miles away from me in Ohio University. Sometimes you think it might be worth it because of all of the fighting but then you actually have to sit down and think about it, and realize it’s just a rough day and things will eventually get better. When two people are in a long distance relationship, seeing them after a period of time being away from each other is a feeling I can’t explain. Even though my boyfriend and I been dating for about 7 months, 3 of those months we have been in a long distance relationship. Before you think about it all, you say you are going to always go visit them and try anything you can to go off and see them. But when you realize how expensive it would be to drive that far, or even try to get a plane ticket or a train ticket it will still end up being expensive. You think that your relationship will be perfect while you are in a long distance, well you should be ready for a big awakening because your relationship will not be perfect at all. While you are in this relationship, basically all you really do is text, and sometimes talk on the phone and that will eventually lead to fights because you will get sick of each other and not being able to see them. The biggest change ever is when they either get a haircut or do something different with themselves and having to get used to how different they look than before. Personally if I had to choice to tell people to be in a long distance relationship or not, I would say no don’t do it. If you think your relationship is strong enough and you think you will be able to handle yourselves and be loyal to each other, then go for it. When I think about my relationship, I think it’s strong enough and should sometimes take some chances and see if it will actually work. If it doesn’t end up working, then you should just take a break from it, and try working things out once the person comes back from where ever they are to see if you can get things back to normal. Sometimes when the person comes back for a period of time, you get used to them always being there and then once they leave again for a long time you go through a stage called depression. I really never experienced that because I try to keep myself occupied and make sure I don’t think about it because when you actually do think about it, it honestly makes you feel like your best friend isn’t there for you anymore. My boyfriend doesn’t come back for good for another 1 and half years because of school. I’m not going to sit there and tell him not to go to school because that’s unfair, I would just try my best to figure out a good way to make things work. Of course you have your moments when you sit there and dread it because it’s terrible, but then you think about how much this will make your relationship stronger and how much it will make things better when you two see each other, and it really does make you want to stay in this relationship. Like they said, “distance means nothing when someone means everything”.
