Our Love Across Oceans

Hello everyone, I have a huge announcement/offer for all of you who follow. This blog was a lot of fun to put together, but due to life circumstances will be officially going up for adoption. 

Hey everyone!! 

So when I started this it was run by only one person, because I wanted an outlet for my LDR thoughts and excitements. But since school is totally kicking my butt year round, and I’d really love to keep this blog going I decided to bring on a couple of friends who are also in LDR’s to be able to run the blog with me and post their own LDR content!!

So this posts gift is something that would be a perfect small token to send through postal or give to them in person if you’re able to so! It’s relatively inexpensive, but it can be unique and customized to be something that represents the two of you perfectly. 

An engraved token, it can be anything from something as serious as a ring to a gift that can be more lighthearted/casual yet still filled with meaning like a keychain^^  When you’re apart being able to keep something on you that’s like a direct link to your significant other it can be so special, like carrying a piece of them/a piece of your relationship physically close to you. 

Most cities/towns will have some place locally that can do engraving, or if you’re in a countryside area/village in a bigger city nearby with a mall there will absolutely be somewhere you can get it done! There are plenty of places online that also offer engraving services, with a wider range of things to engrave that you can choose from.

I would absolutely recommend this gift option as one to keep in mind!! I have this one on the list and I plan to use it quite soon ❤

For any couple that likes games, be it good old Monopoly all the way to pvp videogames one date idea that is a blast to do is play a game together!! There are sites online that you can play board games together with, or even setting it up with the irl game to play through the camera with.  Online games are so much fun to play together as well, be it through online multiplayer, or screensharing to see the game and pick routes/choices together!

I personally love this date, it’s so much fun to pick a game and work through it with a s/o, when I do it with my BF we always end up laughing through most of it and overall just making goofy fun out of our time playing^^ 

Online is always talked about as that place you can be whoever you want, and honestly it’s kinda true. It’s really fun to be able to be whoever you feel like being, I love the freedom in things like RP and just the fact that I can be completely me online and none of them can rat me out in real life XD

Then however, comes long distance relationships. That crosses the wires, on one hand there’s a freedom there that sadly even in real life relationships can be difficult to find in the beginning. But then on the other hand there is always that love and dream to come together in real life which means they get to see people you’re around every day and dang is the mixing of those words frightening sometimes.

One of the hardest things there is can be to be true to yourself, but I think that’s a blessing that comes with online relationships that people need to use. Online allows us to let down some of those barriers that can be hard in real life, it allows us a place where we can be ourselves. One of the best things you can give to a relationship is to be yourself honestly ♥

Last gift idea was for across the internet, but today I wanted to put an idea that can be a long term put together gift you can give to that special person when you one day meet. Usually gifts will be focusing in only on gifts that can be sent through long distance but I really wanted to share this idea today.

Get a jar, or some sort of container. Also you could do it in a book that might be easier for them to take back with them. It needs to be big enough that it can hold plenty of content if this is going to be a really long term project. 

In this jar or book, or if there’s another creative holder you decide to use, and every time you have a good thought about them come to mind write it down and put into that holder. It can be about the relationship, about them as a person, something you dream of doing with them or somewhere taking them. Even little tiny doodles that are special and about you both would be a really cool and creative addition. Just keep adding, especially if you’re having a hard time and they’re on your mind a lot. It doesn’t matter if there are duplicates, it’s about the honesty and what’s genuinely in your heart spur of the moment. 

Don’t force it if nothing is coming to mind, just share it when it comes to mind/heart for you. When they are finally there in person having such a special gift would make for something they’d cherish, and would be something so incredibly special between you always.
