Kiss Me Through The Phone...

        Is it bad that I sometimes get jealous of couples walking in the park, or making out at parties? Or that I occasionally hole up in my living room watching old romantic comedies? Not to mention, my least favorite holiday is coming...Valentine's Day. No, I haven't been bitten by the bitterness bug...I'm in a long distance relationship. Being in a long distance relationship is rewarding, confusing, stressful, frustrating, lonely, draining, and exciting all at the same time. I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 3 1/2 years, and except for the first summer, all of it has been spent long distance. True, I have been able to visit my boyfriend several times, and he has come to visit me, but its been far from easy to live thousands of miles away from the person you love. And so, with a whole lot of trust, and all the forms of communication modern day technology has to offer, we have pulled through. For the next several weeks, this blog is going to feature posts on the common problems and joyous occasions of a long-distance relationship, including things that have worked well for me or others I know in a LDR. Hope you tune in and enjoy!
