[ Of love, distance and other demons ]
LOVE: is the shortest distance between two hearts.For awhile now, I have been dealing with the absence of my husband. I've tried several times to verbalize how I feel, or express it in a constructive way. My friends must be exhausted of listening to my great stories about him and how much I miss him. And the stories of my frustration with actually keeping this relationship in good standing when my partner is so far away.
Truth be told, distance is a bitch. It can make the heart grow fonder, because you don't know what you have until you lose it, blah blah, blah. The cliches can go on for days without end. Distance between two people who love each other with lack of communication can be destructive to a relationship. As if relationships were not hard enough when you live with each other, they art twice as hard when you are in separate countries. A long distance relationship requires tiring amounts of work and patience.
Some days, the attempts at commucation are many without the desired result and end up in frusttration and the feeling of neglect from your partner. These feelings become greater when your schedules or time zones differ, the weather, mood, and lack of physical contact are huge factors in the success of the communication efforts.
It is true that a person can be deceiving in person as much as they can be online, on the phone, on an email or a chat. But it is also true that the peson can be absolutely honest using any of the media or in person. There is no rule that defines any type of relationship, but the parties involved in it.
After all is said and done, all the efforts and patience, if reciprocated are worth all the trouble. The rewards, are greater than all the efforts. Patience triumphs and it finally pays off when you get to talk to the object of you affection, tell him how you feel or better yet, throw your arms around him.
