You know what sucks worse than not having a boyfriend on Valentine’s Day? Having a boyfriend, but not being able to see him on the one day a year that everyone is celebrating their relationships. Now don’t get me wrong, I’ve never looked at Valentine’s Day as an important holiday, it’s just little things like that that really make me wish that I wasn’t a hundred miles away from the one guy I have ever loved.
It was scary moving to a school an hour and a half away from the boy I had been wit
h for over a year. Were we going to be able to handle the distance? Was it going to upset him when I made guy friends? Was I worth waiting four years for? Countless questions ran through my mind as I pack my bags in early September. We must have talked about it over a billion times, but it didn’t become real until I actually made the move.
It’s been about six months since I made the jump, and it seems that long distant relationships can actually work. The first month was the hardest, going from spending all of our free time together to talking on the phone the once a day, when I managed to get away from the madness that is college life. But we’ve worked past that, making sure to talk at least once a day, and dedicating weekends to each other (meaning the small amount of time between commuting, work, and family). I know now that nothing can hurt our relationship, but still, it would be nice to spend Valentine’s Day with him.
