Hello All,
Once again I have forgotten about this blog. I am sorry to everyone, writers and readers alike. I know I haven’t written
for a long time and its about time i start writing again. I’m in this weird dilemma readers. I’ve asked myself this
question for some time now and I jus need to ramble on about it. The question deals with long distance relationships.
Is it good to be with someone is they are far away? I know I’ve heard the whole shebang about how long distance
relationships just don’t work. What happens when long distance relationships don’t work? Is it that the feelings
between two people just diminish just as the physical closeness diminishes with distance? Or is it that one partner
merely feels selfish for keeping the feelings and the love of someone who can be happier without this commitment.
What do you do when you feel guilty and selfish for keeping these feelings, when the partner has the potential to be
with someone else who can not only be mentally close to them but physically close to them. This other partner
could be happy, carefree, and in love with another person in the same vicinity as them. The partner wouldn’t have to
struggle with the pain of being apart. There wouldn’t have to be any tedious planning of spending time together, only
on special occasions (holidays and such). Couples in the same vicinity can just spend time freely without having to
plan every single second so it doesn’t have to be wasted. Being in a relationship is hard as it, long distance
relationships are that much harder. This partner can be happy, move on with their life, be carefree, etc. without the
commitment of their other half being far away. How can you not feel selfish with their feelings. The real question of
long distance relationship is whether to be selfish or selfless? Stay selfish by being with this person who has the
potential to be happy without you. You’ll be happy for now, but what about the long run? Or to be selfless and let the
partner go. Let the partner fulfill this potential to be happy and free. The effect of this is that you’ll be broken-hearted
and in pain for this moment and for however long until you heal. After all time heals everything right? How does the
saying go, “If you love something, set it free.” Why is it so hard to let go. I don’t think anyone wants to let their
feelings go. Selfish or Selfless? I can’t and I’m not sure I want to answer this question or if it is even necessary to
answer thisquestion. The answers to either are too hard to face the reality of. Then again the future period is too hard
to face thereality of.
