reality hits

its back to reality… a not so sweet reality. i need an adjustment, i need a change, i need a chance.

things are sweet and rosy when the 2 person are together, but when apart, things are somewhat different. the difficulties of a long-distance relationship… its just not easy. sometimes friends ask me, “how do u fight when u’re not even physically together”. they’ll be surprise how much more possible it is for a couple to fight when they’re apart. 

how do u strike a balance of not being too possessive and yet let your partner know that u actually do care? do i call, do i not call? would it be irritating? would i seem annoying? and yet, with me trying to avoid any conflicts and giving space, it may be portrayed like i couldn’t care less. i show care and concern, that i am thinking of and miss the person in other ways, but maybe…. maybe its not deemed the way i thought it should be.

in a long-distance relationship, the couple needs a lot more effort, trust, honesty, tolerance, reassurance, patience and communication to see them through the period. any lack of these factors, a fight will start. its draining at times, but u just hope that u will pull through that period, and things will be simpler from there
