Distance and the Heart
Does distance really make the heart grow fonder? For me it depends on the individual. For instance, family yes it does. My youngest brother was stationed in Middle East for almost 2 years during Desert Storm. I missed him very much and worried constantly. Some family members live far away hardly ever hear from them.Friends?yes with very dear friends the few true friends I have. To see and talk with them after a long time of no contact, it's exciting and refreshing to see them again. Catch up. I have one very dear friend,my ex-boyfriend actually. He moved to California 10 years ago. We had a very good relationship but he wanted to move on and I didn't want to leave my home. He visits his family once a year. He always stops to see me. It's always so nice to see him and see how much he's grown as a person over the years.
On CS? I'm not sure. I was messaging someone,I thought we clicked and got along very well. The distance was far between us,he said a four hour drive. And my heart grew fonder. But not to the point of love. Far from that. So I'm not sure if distance could be a hindrance or benefit. The hindrance being you wouldn't get to see that person much and maybe never. Benefit? What if they are a total horses behind and you think to yourself, omg what did I do that for?

Secondly no one in close proximity could never fill that space I have in my heart for him....If he's shirty and not communicating whilst away, then I'd probably miss him the same but I'd move on..communication is key
My family live about 1 3/4 flight hours away and I don't see them as often as I want. We do keep a lot in contact and I do realise that not living on top of each other does cut out any friction that could occur through the daily grind.
A partner - no way. I do want to spend time with someone in person.
When heart want then distance
does not count.
