On Long Distance Relationships

IT NEVER WORKS! hahaha
Lately it's been all talk of long distance relationships...just writing random thoughts :)
I've heard from my friends that if I did find THE one and was in a relationship with Him, I wouldn't be packing my bags on a misadventure to Sydney. I should probably a) stay with him or b)fly to wherever he was, those two choices just seem like the natural progression of things. If you are really in love with the person (so they say)you just can't be without him.
But is that really true love? Love shouldn't stop you from doing the things your heart calls you to do. If you are unsure of how you feel about the person or how he feels about you, then you'd probably think twice about going for it. Shouldn't the one you're with love you enough to respect and support your dreams wherever it takes you? I believe that it takes a more secure and unconditional kind of love to trust that things will fall into place and that if you were really meant to be with that person then you two will meet at the right time when both of you have grown to be imperfectly perfect for each other. I think (atleast I hope) that that kind of love transcends time, space and all other temptations put before you. You can search all over the world and still find that no one else can compare to the one you have waiting for you at home or that one guy you carry in your heart.
My one wish for all of my friends is to have the courage to let their dreams take flight, to go for it, to broaden their horizons, to take risks and to feel more and more alive everyday. Having courage could be as wonderful as taking the leap to get married (hello invite me please, I'll be the last one to walk down the aisle), as fearless as quitting a job you're unhappy with (way to go La!), as hard as fighting for what you believe in (kudos to Sir Rich and Papa Ry), as amazing as being in a long term relationship or long distance relationship or leaving it (yay MV!), as awesome as being single by choice even if it seems like a looong looong time because you don't want to settle (I'm proud of you Derek!), as humbling as trusting God's greater plan for you (like K!), as admirable as owning up to your mistakes and making up for it (nice one Mich), as crazy as leaving your comfort zone or as random as going on a misadventure with me (any takers?). heehee.
That being said....VISIT MEEEEE!!!! so I'll have R&B dancing partners here :P
*ang haba haba pa ng sinulat ko, yun lang pala ang ending hehe :P

On the surface, it's easy to think that long distance relationships don't last because there's too much space in between the couple. Space for temptation, space to change your mind, space not to care and be busy with your own life. But I think that real love is all about respecting the other person's space--to grow, if anything else, into the person he or she wants to be. Because real love is about loving the totality of the person, not just who he/she is when he/she's with you. Maybe I haven't seen enough long distance relationships last because I haven't seen two people in it so truly in love to make it--beyond how in love they said they were.
Because when all is said and done, when you truly love a person, you will find a way to get back together "someday", and know that the space you gave each other made both of you stronger individually, and in your relationship. Then you'll be able to laugh about your experiences apart and be sincerely happy for the persons both of you have become, and will continue be as a couple from then on. ^_^

"Love shouldn't stop you from doing the things your heart calls you to do." --> so true hun!!
Love should only make you dream bigger. It should never stop you from doing the things you want in life. I think long distance relationships takes not only patience and loyalty, but a lot of faith. You don't really know the outcome, but you just believe in it anyway. I admire your courage in taking this challenge!!! I know it's a toughie.
Love you babe! You know I got your back. Muah!!
