Being Worth The Wait

Wait_for_you_Elliot_Yamin_Song_and_Lyrics.mp4 Watch on Posterous

Many, or maybe most of us do not like to wait. We are so impatient that we put things into our hands just because we didn't want to wait any longer. However, sometimes, waiting is everything. One major example of this would be being in a long distance relationship.

If you are a person who has a low patience level, then you have no business being in a distance relationship. You are only going to hurt yourself, as well as your significant other, in the process. A person who gets into such kinds of relationships should know beforehand that patience really is a virtue.

In the above video, someone who is apart from his or her special someone would know how true waiting for a few days could feel like decades. But then again, waiting would only bring hapiness if that person you are waiting for is worth it.

Holding On To Love

As far as we all are concerned, a relationship is a bond between two people in love who are together. Take note of the emphasis given on the word together. Why? It is because people do not consider any other bond to be a romantic relationship if one of the parties involved is out of the locale.

I don't really get why this is the case but that's proven to be something so difficult to prove. Maybe because many of us have seen a lot of long distance relationships that have gone into flames and ended to tears, but that's not applicable to every story.

From what I've seen, there are people who get into distant relationships just so they can prove to people that these kinds of relationships can't work. It's amazing how much effort these haters take just so they can be proven right. What they don't know is that long distance relationships can actually work if the will power is there. It's all about will power, from what I've observed. Although, add in some of those essential things that one needs for a relationship to work then you're going to be good.

If you don't feel confident enough to be in a distant relationship, get helpful advice from peers. They may not have been in the same situation as you are but hearing what they have to say could help you out of your reverie too, you know. It may not always be good long distance relationship advice but at least you can weigh the things that they have to say against your own views and/or stunted beliefs. You are never alone in this world, after all.

In life, you have to hold on to the things that are important to you. If you love that person, try to take the risk because if you don't, your what ifs are going to kill you eventually.

Sad Realities of Distance Relationships

Long_Distance_Relationship.mp4 Watch on Posterous

People say long distance relationships are just some sort of a fling, but are they? Maybe to some, but that does not say the same for every person. There are those who take things seriously, and that's actually a good thing.

At some point of the relationship, it gets difficult, especially when the distance between you and your loved one is going to be greater than you expected. But that's something that both of you could get around to solving. The distance isn't going to be permanent. It's just going to be something temporary. Keep in mind that it's you and your special someone who is going to last. At least hopefully.

If you're not sure of what you're doing, get help. Don't be afraid to get some long distance relationship advice. It's not going to kill you, you know. If you don't get some help, it might kill your relationship anyway.

Owning The Distance

Lovers often tell themselves that they NEVER want to be in a situation where they have to choose from their loved one or for better opportunities in life. Their reason is that they surely are going to choose the person they love over their career or whatever. Unfortunately, they never thought that anything can happen in this lifetime. And more often than not, what they didn't expect almost always happens.

For sure, asking people if they do want to be in a long distance relationship at all will gain more cons than pros. Why? Because as it is, relationships are difficult. When you take dificulty to the next level, that becomes challenging, which is what long distance relationships exactly are. And, not many people are up for a challenge.

What then should you do when the inevitable comes? Simple, really. Own the distance. Don't let it scathe you and your relationship with your special someone. Accepting that you both are going to spend more time apart than with one another is one step to owning the distance. It may not be as easy as I make it sound like, but it isn't impossible. You've got to equip yourself with long distance relationship advice.

So many of us fear of the distance that we let it run our lives and our relationship. As a famous line from America's Next Top Model goes, "Wear the dress, don't let the dress wear you." But since we're talking about relationships, let's put it this way, "Own the distance, don't let the distance own you." Does it sound puzzling to you? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Life is a mindgame and love is a battlefield. It's time you own up and prove your worth.

Living in the Now, Not in the Distance

We sometimes think of so many what ifs in life that we forget to enjoy what we have right now. Sometimes we get too caught up of what will happen in the future and what has happened in the past that we do not live in the present, in the now.

Reflect on the song as it tells us how to live life fully. For people in long distance relationships, I advice you that you enjoy the moment you are together. It may be unsure whether or not you guys are going to be together until forever, but you are together now. That's what's important, so give it it's importance.

Long distance relationship advice are not hard to come by. Just ask and you shall get help. Fight for whatever it is that is worth fighting for. In this case, it's your relationship.

Long Distance Relationship Can Be Fun

Long distance relationships don't necessarily have to be a monotonous relationship with your computer or with your cellphone. There are times wherein you can actually consider it fun, but this would mainly depend on the manner that the couples would handle their relationship. Take for example Jason Castro. If he were in a long distance relationship, he'd have one of the most brilliant ideas ever.

Remember the title of the song above? It's called Let's Just Fall In Love Again. If you take in the lyrics, you are going to realize that the guy and the girl are looking for ways to make their relationship interesting. This way, a couple's bond would grow stronger. Still, some people may look down at this sort of idea, but hey, they aren't you, right? Try it out and have fun.

Preparing Yourself For A Let Down (Disadvantages of a Long Distance Relationship)

Sometimes people think that they should never look at life in a negative way, that they should always see positivity in everything they do just so they can overcome all the diferent obstacles that will be thrown their way. But is it really the essence of life? To blind oneself from the harsh realities that life could give, which by the way, helps people become better.

I know I may have told you again and again to always look at everything in life positively, and I'd still tell you the same thing over and over again. It's not a bad thing to look at life with hope in your heart because there is always hope. But then again, there always is a reason why good is always paired with bad. Can you even imagine a life full of pure good? Wouldn't it only make us bored? Let's just use the negative things in life for the good that it may bring us.

In long distance relationships, for example, there are so many disadvantages as compared to the advantages. Knowing the disadvantages will help the couples prepare the alternative routes they could take whenever one of their major options would fail.

These are some of the disadvantages of being in a long distance relationship:

First, if you are in a long distance relationship with someone whom you have never even actually met, you are forever going to doubt whether he or she is that person in their profile picture.It would be best if you have a common friend who practically knows the person personally.

Second, imagine yourself introducing your significant other through Skype. It's never a formal thing, unless of course you think "meeting the parents" through Skype is. Most parents wouldn't even approve of this arrangement anyway.

Third, surely the communication route that most couples are going to take is talking in the phone. And that "You hang up. No, you hang up" lines are going to get old real soon. You are only going to get annoyed.

Fourth, although you guys are miles and miles apart, there will still come a time wherein one of you will feel trapped. Don't keep your partner in a "cage". Let them live their lives, so long as they don't do anything stupid and ruin your relationship.

And last but not the least, there is a great chance that your friends are never going to believe that you are in a relationship. And you can't blame them for that. After all, they don't see anyone with you almost all the time. The best advice I can give you, is to introduce them to your long distance partner. At least somehow they'll get the idea who you're with. Or, you can take them with you to meet your significant other.

Now you already got the idea of how it feels like to be in love with someone who is away from you. It's as wonderful as falling in love with someone you get to see every single day, whenever you want to, but it's as painful as losing someone you dearly love. It's a great challenge, but it isn't impossible. Do the best that you can for this sort of relationship to work. Remember, love is for two people. If you're the only one in it, run away as fast as you can.
