sonotme33:So damn true. DT, the distance is - a teacher of patience. - a time to prioritize, and decide, slowly, what you want. - one sweet groovy reunion after another, even if they are weeks or months between. - a test of your partnership. I believe it is a big test to make the time you’re finally near each other The Best Damn Thing, Ever. “I’m not saying this is going to be easy. I’m saying it’s going to be worth it.” Someone said this to me and as much as I didn’t want to hear it, he was (and is) right. The distance provides time -for socializing with local friends, family. -to work on your parenting, your weight, your poetry, novel, cooking, emptying your home of all the stuff you no longer need. -to figure out your marriage (if you’re in transition or if you’re together but separated for work or war). -read Crime and Punishment, The Koran, The Bible, the stars. The distance is good for -overthinking (I’m a pro. My advice? Move your brain in positive ways; overthinking is a buzz kill. Be happy and stop wondering if your “happy” is deserved or real or lasting because in all likelihood, it’s all that and more.) -letter writing. Write each other, by hand, letters. Read them. Write back. Enjoy waiting for something short-term, like a letter in the mail. -learning a new skill or strengthening a hobby you already enjoy. Time is a gift, whether we are with them or apart. Try not to spend your between time slouching through the days. Enjoy your life, invest in yourself. Be the best you for you, and for your partner. Stay interesting, my friends. And, of course, stay in touch with each other, have an end date (if you can&mdash, it helps a lot!), and Be Happy. OX -SmartSurrender -- source link
