"How can you get through a long distance relationship? I could never in a million years do that!" or "Wow it's probably the worst thing ever to never see your boyfriend..." I hear something like this every time I mention being in a long distance relationship. Yes sometimes it's so painful I want to rip my hair out because I'll miss him so much and I wouldn't recommend it to even my worst enemy; however, being able to overcome all the hard aspects of distance with someone that's worth it truly builds your relationship as well as your character. These are just some of the few things that make it all worth while:

1. When you finally see each other you're not able to wipe the smile off your face for the next couple of days.

2. You don't really have anything to argue about.

3. You truly cherish your time together.

4. Your Snapchat streak is insane.

5. You're stuck in the honeymoon phase so much longer than the average couple.

6. Your communications skills improve immensely.

7. You get a vacation every time you see each other.

8. You learn so much more about the person due to constant talking.

9. You learn to appreciate every aspect of their presence.

10. You almost never get sick of each other.

11. You get spontaneous deliveries.

12. Your driving skills improve from all the road trips.

13. You get to introduce each other to your current life chapter.

14. Hearing their voice can instantly calm you down.

15. Always remember that the distance isn't permanent.
