I never believed in getting into long distance love affairs before. I felt that the distance factor is something hard to handle. The person is physically absent, not available as easily as one wants and the costs of meeting up is a bit high. Furthermore, it would need a lot of good foundation to make it work. Thus, I never entertained to have any of this type of relationship before.

Nowadays because of hard times, families and loved ones are forced to live separately due to the need to find a greener pasture for the family’s future. These are the overseas Filipino workers situations or a loved one working in a different part of the country. I’m sure if they had the choice, they would want to work and live in the same place but the financial aspect wouldn’t usually allow such. I have high regards to those who sacrifice and who sometimes feel homesick just to be able to provide well for their family.

My perception of long distance relationships has changed dramatically. I met a girl who lives in a different place and I decided to pursue her and have her in my life. I know what it would entail but I guess true love conquers all hindrances and true love knows no boundaries.

I guess long distance or not, if one wants things to work out well, it can happen…It is possible.
