That Damn Distance

autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place

So a friend of mine just told me that she really wants a long distance relationship. I laughed and i asked her why. She told me it would be “fun not seeing each other and you dont have so much responsibilities”. This made me kinda upset. I told her that its not fun at all and that you have as much responsibilities as you have in a normal relationship. But then she said “but you can have other relationships in your hometown whilst having a ldr”… I dont understand how people can say sth like that about LDR’s. To all the people out there how think that its so easy to love someone who is thousand of miles away from you and that you dont have to love him/her all the time just when you are with them. You are so horribly wrong. We just love that ONE person. We fight for the other one. We cry everytime we have to leave them. We dont see each other every weekend. Sometimes it takes months or years to see, feel, kiss each other again. We spend hours on skype or facetime to just be with them.
