Rambling of Sorts

There is a lot to say about relationships. To me, there are two approaches to them- you can have a personal relationship face to face where you can see each other as often as you wish or you can have a relationship that is long distance where the primary growth of the relationship is dependent on phone calls, text messages and the occasional [rare] visit. People would ultimately want to choose the relationship that wasn't long distance because of the close factor. Many people don't believe it's possible to fall in love over any other technological means.

I understand the desperate need for two people to spend time with each other. To touch and hold each other. To look into each others' eyes. The sense of touch is what further deepens the love two people can share. There's nothing I love more than to be held by someone. It makes me feel safe; as though nothing in the world could go wrong because I have someone who wants to protect me from the rest of the world. But I do have faith that there are other methods of falling in love and being able to find that one person who truly accepts you for who you are- even with all of your flaws.

But on the other hand, I have fallen in love with someone over the phone. I have loved someone I have only seen in person three times. Our entire relationship was based on phone calls, pictures and text messages. But at the time it felt like real love. I realize that things ended horribly with that relationship but it was real to me.

I still have faith in long distance relationships, even if they are difficult to maintain. I still think that if it's worth it, two people will work through the distance. Things are meant to happen. Where there's faith, there's the possibility.


Some day....the possibility will be mine.
