ldr from NYC to CB

One of the first quotes I ever heard about long distance relationships when I started dating Pedro was, “Distance means so little when someone means so much” and it instantly stuck with me. I even used to have it at the top of my blog when I first started TheLDRJournal. At the top of my blog it said, “Distance means so little when…” and I liked the idea that all of my posts would be a completion to that sentence. When we first started out in our LDR, I knew no one else who was in a long distance relationship and had no idea there was this huge community online that would support and help each other. All I would think was how sucky distance is when I just want to be close together. When I heard this quote, it changed my whole perspective of long distance. Distance really doesn’t determine your relationship’s value, it is the people in the relationship and the connection they have. So I’d like to go on and explain why distance really means so little…

Distance Means so Little When:

They give you butterflies without ever touching them before.

They give you the most attention, despite being the furthest away.

After a long day all you want to do is curl up on Skype together.

You find yourself making plans together for the future.

They pick up on your little habits.

They would literally cross the world for you.

No one else even comes close to crossing your mind.

You were able to find your soul mate through all the miles.

Their smile makes you smile.

Hearing their voice on the phone is one of your favorite parts of the day.

Seeing each other in person is like picking up where you left off.

Being together in person is the most natural thing.

Someone means so much….

You don’t always need to shave

The texts you get from them make you smile at your phone like an idiot

You still get butterflies just hearing their voice

You get to have the cutest Skype dates

SKYPE KISSES

You get to be a total romantic when writing letters and mailing them stuff

You always get excited planning visits and talking about closing the distance someday

Every visit is technically an adventure

You really appreciate the little things that close distance couples overlook
