Long Distance Relationships

Oh, the burning hell of a long distance relationship. The torture that it brings, it makes me wonder why people do it. Sometimes I wonder why I'm doing it.

I mean, I dislike long distance relationships so much that I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. It's because they're hard. I mean, they are really something else. They rip your heart apart and burn the pieces up and then put what ever is left to the ultimate test.

The test of being alone most of the time. The test of having to deal with being around other couples who are in the honeymoon stage deep, and couples who are just plain in love, or just couples in general. And this is a harder test then what it might sound like. And if you make it through those tests you get to undergo the test of Valentines Day...and if Valentines Day doesn't fall on a weekend, then you just might have to endure it on your own, and be overwhelmed with roses, teddy bears, chocolates, valentines, and happy couples, all day long. And the only thing you have connecting you to your significant other, is your cell phone or skype.

Long distance relationships make you be away from your special someone for weeks and months at a time. It jerks tears, it makes your eyes puffy in the morning, cause you've cried yourself to sleep for the last 3 consecutive nights. It makes you miss them before you are even separated...and maybe you don't miss them...but you start missing not being able to touch them, or talk to them face to face, or tickle them, or hug or kiss them, or laugh with them whenever you want.

So...you might be thinking, if they're so bad then why am I apart of one?

Well...I don't recommend this kind of relationship to people because it causes me a lot of pain. And I don't want other people to have to experience it. But I'm in one because the person I'm with...is 110% worth the pain. He's worth the tears, and the puffy eyes, and the sadness, and the Valentines Day from hell. He's worth it because I can't see myself with anyone else. And I don't want to be with anyone else. I'm in a long distance relationship because I found someone that I don't mind suffering for because when I eventually get to see him...for a few hours, or for a day, or for a weekend, for a week, a month. It's completely worth all the pain, because the pain can't compare to the stupid smile I can't hold back when I see him. It can't compare to the butterflies that I still get for some reason.

I'm in a long distance relationship because I'm in love, and I feel like people should always do whatever it takes for love to be successful. If you love someone then you should be with them no matter what because they are the ones that make you happy, and smile like an idiot, they're the one's that drive you crazy, frustrate you to no end, but you just can't get enough of them.

I guess I don't suggest long distance relationships to people who don't wanna feel a little pain, I don't recommend them to people who don't like being alone, I don't recommend them to people who worry a lot. I do recommend them to people who are in love, I recommend them to people who don't care about a few hundred miles, and I recommend them to people who like big rewards.

Because when you hug your significant other for the first time in a few weeks, you remember why your in a long distance relationship, and it all of a sudden becomes very worth the lonely days, and depressing nights.

Your just, worth it to me.
