9 Reasons Long Distance Relationships Are Hard

In This Article:

Long distance relationships are kind of the worst.

Okay, maybe not the absolute worst, it is still nice to have a loving, comforting relationship, even if you don't get to see them often. But still, it's difficult to know that the person you love is two hundred, five hundred, or even thousands of miles away from you, especially on days where you just want to be with them.

Almost everything about having an LDR is rough, but here is a list of the absolute WORST parts of always being so far away from your significant other.


1. No dates.

You can't just randomly decide to go out to dinner together, or just take a night out together for just the two of you.

2. No random surprises.

You can't just surprise them with their favorite candy or a random trip to the zoo.

3. Too far apart to hold their hand.

Which sucks, because having their hand in yours is so comforting.

4. You can't always hold them when you want to,

Even when they're having a bad day.

5. Or dance to your favorite songs together.

Even if you generally hate dancing, but you love it with them, and you want nothing more than to get lost in a world with just the two of you and a Taylor Swift song.

6. You can only ever see them through screens.

It's better than nothing, but pictures, FaceTime, and videos are nowhere near as magical as the real thing.

7. It's super expensive to spend time with them.

Gas money, train tickets, plane tickets, time off from work - it costs so much just to spend time with your S.O.!

8. You can't spend every second together like you want.

So you become clingy AF when you're actually together.

9. Once you do finally get to spend time with them, readjusting to life without them is difficult.

Suddenly going from being together 24/7 back to being miles apart is THE WORST, because you just want to go back to being with them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
