It's crazy to think that I was once so opposed to long distance. That I thought those relationships never worked in the long run, or that they weren't even true relationships. I suppose it makes sense, really. You get hurt once and your mind blames the situation. But things change. People change you.
I don't like thinking about how I met Will. It was a lonely and scary part of my life. I met him and fell immediately in love and was terrified that I'd lose him. There was no way he'd be willing to do everything it took to be with me. People don't just do that.
He booked a plane ticket within a month and we met that summer. He stayed with me for 31 days. We fell even more in love, and I stopped being scared. I felt safe and whole with him, and he wasn't going to take that away from me.
Here we are multiple visits and more than a year later and I've just returned from a two month stay with him. We're planning on a wedding next summer, and starting all the applications and fees that go with it. He's my soul mate and my rock. He's given me so much more than I could ask for and for that I owe him the world. He is perfection at its finest.
I should include the support we have from our parents. My dad has been out of the picture for about a year now, but my mom and his parents do so much to help us be together. They understand our relationship and give us what we need (and so much more) to let it flourish. I'm so thankful to them.
If anyone's interested, I have a blog where I talk solely about our relationship and the trials and tribulations it involves. I'd be thrilled for any of you to stop by and give us a look. I love talking to people in similar relationships or situations, so don't be shy! sixty-threedays.tumblr.com
