Before you get yourself into a long distance relationship, understand that you will not be in the same city/country, that you will not be in the same time zone,that you will not be in each other’s arms until the next time you get to be together. Understand that you will have to settle for any social network to keep in touch, to see each each other, that you can’t just expect them to show up at your doorstep when you tell them to come over, that you have to wait a while or a long time to see them again. Understand that this kind of relationship requires a lot of patience, a lot of trust, a lot of commitment. Understand that there will be nights when you will cry yourself to sleep, that there will be days that you will be frustrated, that there will be times when it feels longer than it should.
Understand that this will hurt.
