Big_John: This is what makes long distance relationships so hard. I know they can work, but it takes a whole lot of effort. I don't think it is hard to have it all. Be careful how you define "all" and you mine get there faster.
Ah, one of my favourite men here...
They are not easy, as I am finding out, however, with the effort that we are willing to invest and with some careful planning, I do believe that we can have it all, however, as you so rightly say, John, defining all, is not easy.
And if we have it all, are we then not taking away what we give ourselves...
You know, when you are apart from the one you want you to be with, there are times when a person could give up, but then, embracing the missing, rather than trying to fight it, part of it becomes easier to accept, we just look at it, as where it will take us, rather than rushing it all and making huge plans that may never work, he has his work, family commitments where he is and I have mine here, that is fact, for now, we choose to enter into it, so we cannot complain too much that it is hard.
I don't have him near me everyday, not physically, but he is there, and we know we can manage until the time comes again when we can be together..
For now, that is all we have, yearning for more, will do nothing other than make it harder. Acceptance and embracing what we have is the best that I can do.
