Going the distance

This weekend was all about seeing and hearing about long distance relationships. Weird enough, I'm in one of those, so talk about relating.

This made me think, is long distance that sucky? Well, YES. But there are some people who made this work. From the top of my head, I can think about a couple, and I'm not counting those I saw on the movies. Is it hard work? Hell YES. But it is possible, and certainly "do-able".

Relationships are meant to be easy, even long distance ones. If you are not in one of these, than (girl) you better want out. I don't know one relationship that doesn't need work, but I do know lots that  are easy like a sunday morning.

Saudade hurts, but it can be manageable with daily post-its. One for each day that we are apart.
Saudade hurts, but it can be light with five calls a day. Just to be sure you are OK.
Saudade can be healthy, because you can realize that somethings are meant to be lived alone, but others are meant to be seen with your other half.
Saudade can be healthy, because you can suddenly realize how confident and secure you are about that one other person.

Going the distance,
taking this step,
being apart is a bold act. I salute the ones that did.
