The Beauty in the Struggle
Many people think that long distance relationships aren’t real and won’t last but not everything is about physical attributes of a relationship. Usually, the people that say things like this are the ones that have never experienced that kind of love. Of course, it’s much easier to be with someone that lives near you that you could see often. But, the mindset most people have is that you aren’t able to like someone or to even fall in love with someone because you haven’t met them before. This definitely isn’t true. Long distance relationships are so underrated because people don’t realize how hard it is not being able to hold your lover in your arms. Everyone can say having a local significant other is better because you can always see them but my argument is that the feeling you get after meeting your lover for the first time and finally holding them after all those days, weeks and months spent dreaming and longing for your partner. No feeling compares to it. People claim the feelings aren’t real and it doesn’t last but then they can’t explain how so many people that started in long distance relationships have got married. Long distance relationships are hard because you don’t get to fall asleep to the embrace of your lover or wake up to their face but their feelings are valid and no one is allowed to say that long distance is a myth because it isn’t. It just works out for some people and doesn’t work out for others.
