Long Distance Relationships... Or Not

Having recently met people who share their love/life stories with me has been a mind opener.

I've met someone who met his now fiance while they were both on vacation. The guy is from US and the girl, Japan. After a couple of weeks together, they decided to embark on a long distance relationship that lasted 1.5 years. They managed to work through the distance and the cultural differences and now, they're engaged.

Know of someone else who met his current girlfriend when she was vacationing in New York. He's from Sweden and she's from Spain. Again, they only had a month together but they felt so strongly for each other that they decided to continue with a long distance relationship. Fast forward a year and he is now moving to Spain to be with her.

There are so many other stories that I can share with you but in essence, what I'm trying to say is that it amazes me to know of the lengths people will go to for love. Maybe it's not love when you decide to pursue that relationship but that you're willing to take that chance, I smile at the warmth radiating in me. Yes, I'm a sappy romantic.

If you're ever caught in a position that requires a decision of such, I'll tell you to embrace it with wide open arms. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. It'll definitely be painful but who's to say that it won't be the best decision you'll ever make?

Maybe you need space to think. Maybe you're confused. Maybe you're just being a jackass.
All things said and done, I care too much now to say that I don't and there's nothing I can do about it. What I can do is to stop showing that I care but you know I always will cos you're special to me. 

Hugs,
Nora
