Long Distance Love

Simplicity:

Sean and I have been contemplating the concept of Long Distance Love for a little shy of 2 months now. It seems a crushing idea in terms of it's longevity and feasibility but why do people bother with this notion when the end result is bound to leave one of the two starcrossed lovers heartbroken? Or what gives them the comfort they need to believe in the love that they share even with 100s of miles between them?

Usually, I'm the hopeless romantic and I'd be the one to venture into that unknown world with him, but what if there's something inside of you telling you it's the riskiest business you'll ever conduct and it may not be worth it?

Who wins the battle between true love and reason?

Sean is probably thinking right now, oh my God, Simplicity has had a revelation and finally came to her senses! But, to that I'll say Sean... you already know what the deal is for me.... distance or not Love Trumps All.

But, honestly speaking, it takes a very strong couple, let alone strong and secure individuals to pull it off. So if you're one to face a serious challenge, and you like to put up a fight you'd probably be most qualifying for attempting a long distance relationship and testing the depth of your love for someone... otherwise you might as well call it quits now.... or you better start a new path to self discovery and determine if you're willing to take that leap and start taking risks the old you probably never would have.

Right Sean?

Eh wrong! The correct answer is love knows no distance nor bounds. if you truly LOVE someone obstacles do not exist. Only love. For when you love somebody or should i say when you're in love with some one it's like being in a whole other world. And all that's visible in this fantasy land is enchanting colors mystical existences, boundless imaginations...wait im thinking of the movie Avatar. But seriously life is like that when you're in love it's like you're an avatar living in a translucent, parellel universe walking amongst the rest of the world. True love is the only thing that can exist and remain perfectly affected and dry amidst a sea of imperfection and the drab dampness that life sometimes offers. Distance cannot stop true love. And if you are "one-hunnit" (or 100% honest) with yourself then distance is no hinderance.

So i say to you Simplicity if you have to check your reality and ask yourself Can I do this? you're asking the wrong question. the true question there is am i truly in love?

short response... Simplicity says:

Wow, I think Sean and I may have died and both came back in each other's places... Interesting thoughts, I'm glad you said it and not me, but like I said... the rare cases where it does succeed and should (maybe I left out the should part...) is where true love exists. To those that consider it a challenge and hinderance yes, I agree that they should question if they're truly in love because like you I believe there is no boundary or barrier. (just reread my initialy response) Love Trumps All would be where this falls under haha because no where do I indicate that I feel like long distance doesn't mean a thing regardless of true love or not except for where I say long distance or not.. Love Trumps All haha, I like this post.
