Whenever things feel tough and you can't wrap your head around ever feeling better, they are always there. You might not feel instantly better but the small moments of smiling of laughter or even of crying your emotions out, show that you are doing better. You're getting better and you're getting through this. Whether it's ldr, work, covid or anything else know that you are making progress each and every day.

A little support post, you can get through it! I know the world sucks right now and it's frustrating to not see your partner but it's going to get better. One day you're going to live close to them and it's going to be so much easier!

Wow it's been a while since I posted, a lot has been going on.
With the pandemic still going around in both of our countries we probably won't be able to meet up this winter either which means we won't see each other till next summer. This has been really rough to deal with but we're holding strong, we might break down because we miss each other every once in a while but we're trying to stay positive.
I also started school and an internship so I've been really busy at the same time. There's some positives though! We've hit our two year mark, we're officially now two years together!
I hope everyone is staying safe and doing well during this time, find people who can help you when you need it and remember that it will get better

Going into the summer without coming over to see him is hard. I’m trying to get through it and think of the positives (like being lucky enough that I can come over during christmas) but some days it’s still super hard

Not being able to see each other sucks. There's days where it's fine and you're okay. But other days anything that slightly reminds you of them, hurts. It hurts being away from them. Those days suck. They don't last forever but they suck and its good to talk about those moments. Long distance relationships aren't always happiness and sunshine, we might be considered strong for being in one but even we break sometimes. Talk to your partner, find something to do etc. You'll get through it .

Working on yourself is important and some support or an listening ear can mean the world to someone. Remember to talk to your partner about anything bothering you whether you're making progress or you're in a rough patch. They're there for you whenever you need them to be.

Why do so many people say that ldr’s are doomed to fail and aren’t “real” relationships?
Well to be honest I've heard multiple answers for this. First of (especially older generations will think this) people can find it hard to imagine a relationship without touch, were you can't see your partner whenever you want. This can also combine into a misunderstanding over how much is possible with the internet nowadays.
Secondly the reason some people who've tried it might say it doesn't work is because communication is really really important when you can't see your partner. People might try a ldr and realise they can't communicate with their partner without giving them a hug or see how they are etc.
Lastly, something people don't tend to think about a lot is that if you want your relationship to last you're most likely going to want to live together and for some people it can be incredibly hard to leave home, this could lead to fights or simply no partner wanting to leave their home.
Ps. A lot of people also don't see ldr as serious. Like something that you mess around with but eventually you'll return to "real life" and it ends.
I hope this helps a bit to understand it better, I could explain more about why others would see it that way or why ex ldr people might see it that way. If you have a question don't hesitate to ask!

I don't know who needs to hear this right now but talk to your partner. That thing you've been thinking about that's been hurting you,stressing you out, making you sad. Talk about it with them it really is better than keeping it in.

I haven't been with the guy I like for very long or exactly know how I feel about him. I don't know how I can keep this up I also don't want to lose him either though. How do I remain really good friends with him but find my own person to love? I'm still pretty young so I feel like it's almost holding me back, he's my dream guy but I'll never have him :(
I'd say to ask him to take a step back, to agree to be friends again. You could explain that even if you like him you're uncertain of your own feelings and want to wait with relationships (till you've finished school or till you know your feelings better etc.). Friendships aren't that different than relationships especially when you just started dating so if you can both agree it shouldn't be too hard to stay friends. I would suggest having a conversation about what is and isn't okay to talk about/what to label you guys and if you're wanting to wait for each other or want to live your life.
This is something very difficult and I don't have a lot of experience with this sorta thing but I believe good communication can make most situations a lot better. Be honest and open with each other and learn what you both want.
Good luck and I really hope it works out for you 💙
Ps. You're still young which makes it more than okay to have doubts or to not want to be "tied down" just make sure to talk about it.

Quarantine is at a point where most likely my trip is getting cancelled. There's only a very slim chance and it's been hitting pretty hard. I'm fortunate enough to be able to plan a trip during Christmas so I'm using this post to say, you're not alone. It sucks and not being able to see each (and quarantine in general) are really tough but take care of yourselfs. Take your time find fun things to do and know that it's okay to be sad.
Hang in there guys

Giving each other space can be hard. You want to spend every moment together since you already have so little compared to others but believe me giving each other space is important. Having a moment to yourself even if you haven't talked a whole lot isn't something to feel guilty about. You're allowed to need time or just want it! It'll help you out too. Time to relax can help improve your mood and make the time you spend together so much more precious. Hang in there guys ♡

So I’ve always been really social, and it’s extremely easy for me to get along with people. And I’d like to think I’m not bad looking. It’s never been particularly hard finding people to date, and my person is really self conscious about it. And she’s in an extremely bad place right now, she’s pushing me away hella bad. But I told her I’ve never felt the way I do now, yet she still goes. Should I just let her go, or stick it out? She won’t stop.
I always say communication is important and holding on is definitely good in most cases but communication requires both people to be involved. I'd try to open the conversation, let them spill what's holding them back and the you as well. Anything that may be between you guys, if that's not something they're willing to do then it might be more damaging to keep holding on. I'm not going to say what to do because a lot depends on the situation but try and be open. I hope it gets better ♡

You don't realise how much meaning songs have untill you're listening to a song you listened to on the way back home from the person you love and it still affects you. Almost a year later.

Since the distance combined with quarantine makes meeting up even more difficult it's sometimes hard to stay happy. Remember it's not bad to cry or to get mad at the situation but remember to find positives! Also please remember to keep up communication during this time, being stuck at home makes it easier to get into fights but keep communicating and talk things out! You're going to get through it!

With the current situation I just barely am able to fly to him this year but the rules have been changing and quarantine has been extended many times. I probably won't get to go this summer. It hasn't hit yet and when it does it's going to suck. Luckily my country/flying company are compensating people so I might fly out a later time. This whole situation suck but hang in there guys.
