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.
