"Long distance relationships aren't even worth it."
No, you're wrong.
I am not saying that long distance relationships are easy; they're not at all.
In order to be able to make a long distance relationship work, you need to have so much patience.
Of course there will be arguments, difficult times, crying... okay, A lot of crying. Well maybe I'm just a very emotional person and it just gets to me having to watch each other leave.
I have been in a long distance relationship for a year and a half. It has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. One way I can describe it is as a constant countdown. I countdown the days until we will see each other again, or I'm making sure I am making every minute count when we do get the chance to be together.
One thing I do dislike is not knowing when we are going to be able to see each other again. But, a good feeling is knowing the exact date of when we will see each other again.
While being away from each other, I do sometimes envy the couples that do get to be together all the time. But that's because they only live minutes away so they have that luxury.
When you are in a long distance relationship, your partner will always be in the back of your mind, especially when it is something fun and exciting that is happening; you're going to wish they could be right there, experiencing it with you.
I'm going to be honest, at times you will feel lonely. Very lonely. No pressure. This is the part where the crying comes in. Again, maybe it's just me. You will usually feel lonely when you have a bad day, when you're sick, or when you're just feeling down. You're going to wish they could be there to hug and hold you.
Don't worry, there's a bunch of ways to be there for each other. It could be by texting from morning to night time, phone calls throughout the day, or FaceTime/Skype video calls.
Long distance relationships also teach you how to be independent. Not having your partner around will force you to do things on your own. You also have extra time to work on your hobbies and focus on yourself.
After some time apart, being able to see them again is the best feeling in the world. I still get butterflies in my stomach.
Little things will begin to mean so much. Small road trips, eating Subway together, watching each other's favorite shows together, picking up coins off the ground, or buying each other's favorite candy are some of the many things that mean a lot to me.
Long distance relationships are very worth it.
