Sailor Moon on Long-Distance Relationships: (by request)
Love is beautiful, but being far away from the one you love can be difficult!
It can put a strain sometimes, but trust me, they can also work out quite well.
I'm not the best, but I figured I could try. Here's a little happy story and then a few tips:
Way before computers and cell phones, a man tagged along with his friend to a dance that was all the way across the state. At that dance, he met the woman who he decided was the love of his life. He was a repair man and she had just gotten into college for chemistry. Although they lived far away from each other and could rarely talk on the phone, they wrote each other as often as they could and visited each other whenever they found the time.
Those two were my grandmother and grandfather, and they lived a very happy life together for more than 50 years before she died. They went through a lot of struggles in their life, but their love never faded.
I live a bit far away from my fiancee myself, and have lived whole countries away from people I cared about before. So do many of my friends!
Here's how we all make it work:
- Keep open and honest communication: Discuss insecurities, interests, and even just daily life things! Talking whenever you get the chance keeps any relationship happy and fresh.
- Make future plans: Talk about things you want to do the next time you see each other. It makes the time apart seem less long.
- Trust in each other: Distance can be so difficult, but remember that you both love each other.
Some long-distance relationships don't work out, but plenty of ones where people are physically close don't, either. There's nothing wrong with any kind of healthy relationship. Be honest, trust each other, and know that one day, you'll be able to see each other whenever you want. Love is a beautiful thing and comes in all forms.
Good luck, I'm rooting for you!~
With Love,
