You see, I am in a long-distance relationship. I have no choice. It's not simple going to where my beloved is. But we try to do whatever it takes to establish the communication for the relationship. The first few months was blissful. Heaven!

But then, reality starts to sink in. You find your bills double or triple the amount you usually pay monthly. Then you tell yourself, "It's ok, it's worth it. I am happy." So the next month, you did the same. Probably cut off a little and tried to find any other means of communication available for both of you. Then you got the bills again, and back to reality, asked yourself, "Will this do me good?"

Actually, in reality? NO. Unless you learn to balance everything, being happy with a nearly-empty pocket is not healthy for yourself, the relationship, and the future plans that you have.

So you stop. Take the courage to face reality and hope that everything will be alright even with less communication.

 
Lack of communication as we all know is one of the catalyst of many failed relationships, may it be long distance or even to those who see each other everyday. But take note, I did not use the word "lack" here, just less. **wink**

 
We cannot do something about the limitations on having this long distance relationship. If we can, then what am I blabbering about? I should be there with him, not here sitting in front of my PC wondering how he's doing, how his day was, how he looks today, or wonder if he's eaten or slept well.

But all I can do is to anchor my faith deeper so I won't get carried away by the strong tide of emotions. The feeling of missing someone is not fatal (*whew* thank goodness!). I could choose to dwell on the sadness for a while or just shrug my shoulder, give out a deep sigh and pray that I survive another day without him.
