Ichat and snail mail will get me through...

Distance from Boston to San Francisco: 3,000 miles
Time left until spring break: 66 days

Boyfriend left to go back to Boston tonight. Two months & counting until we get to see each other again. The last couple of weeks have done nothing but bring us closer together and make me fear this day more and more. After having a semester of experience with this long distance stuff it only makes me more weary of the semester to come. It’s hard. Sometimes when all you can think about is the negative in things and how hard something can be, you need to force yourself to look through the cloud of despair. The long distance only makes the time together more worth it. And who could be more worth it to me than boyfriend? No one.
People ask us advice on staying together through college and if long distance relationships are worth it. All I can say is for us, it’s more than worth it. It’s something we have to do, at this point we can’t not be together. The thing is, if you don’t try to make it work you’ll always wonder what would have happened. If the other person means that much to you, how could you possibly break up not because you two don’t work together, but because you’re not willing to put in the hard work? Since when is love supposed to be easy?
