long distance

“It is not for the faint hearted.”

I can clearly attest to the fact that a long distance relationship is not an easy one. I have been there twice. During our bf-gf days of my hubby, we had our fair share of the so called long distance love affair, not once but twice (sounds like susan roces, but it’s really true… harhar)

We had to endure long months of physical separation, cold sleepless nights, dreadful solo-alone times, and telenovela drama emote days plus whooping phone bills, numerous internet access and cashy txt loads. And the long lists goes on… Its all part of the so called circa of a long distance relationship.

Time and distance tested our relationship.

But what made us hold on? Simple --- respect and trust. And of course coupled with ways in utilizing the word- communication. Easy to say, but indeed it was. I guess I was just lucky to have a monogamous partner and vice versa. And we really valued each other and our relationship that even tested by time and distance, we continued to hold on to each other. Our motto was, “walang bibitaw, bby!”

I saw several long distance relationships that stood through the whole test. I have also witnessed a handful of failed long distance relationships. I guess it is really not for the “fainted heart”… you have to be strong and ready to sacrifice. That’s why it is as they say for the strong hearted…. Maybe we are maybe we’re not… but we survived that phase of our love. And look at us now…

Such topic hit me again, for sometimes the career roads we are crossing may again lead us to this phase of your life. I just gave a shrug, for I know we had "been there done that phase" and again, it will just repeat the old times. Though, it still gives me a pinch inside my heart, I know God is very good for He will guide us through that path again... (if and ever if...)

Because truly indeed, for almost 5years now, we never let go of each other. We just hold on to our love and faith in God, that He will lead us to the right path despite the many obstacles we encountered along the way.
