Long Distance

When you’re in a long distance relationship, especially at a young age, you choose to give up a lot of things. You choose to give up the normal high school dating experience, and all of it’s bullshit. You give up a lot of attention. You give up friends. You give up dances and parties. You give up a lot [not all, cause God knows I’ve still managed to make mistakes] of the freedom to be irresponsible and make mistakes.

If you really want your long distance relationship to be successful, yes, you do give up a lot. And the sacrifice, honestly, is not for everyone. A lot of people say they want a fulfilling relationship, but they don’t have the maturity, dedication, or discipline to make this kind especially last.

But my point is. Amongst all the sacrifice. If you can pull through. You gain something many people don’t. You learn lessons in love most people around you can’t even imagine. Your significant other will truly be your best friend. And you can say that every day, you get stronger and make progress.
