When I was a teenager, I thought long distance relationships would never work and I wouldn't have been able to maintain one back then. I remember one of my closest friends at the time was in a relationship with a guy from Toronto and I think a year later, she told me that they broke up. I was so sad because she was always happy talking about him and I know they loved each other very much. We were all internet friends too. I think as the years passed, I was more open to it and now, I am in love with a guy who's in another country. I truly believe that they can work but it requires a lot of trust, effort and communication. I think they are more special and much more beautiful than a relationship where you live in the same country. I've seen so many videos on Youtube of long distance couples visiting each other and the immense happiness they feel is so heartwarming to see. You appreciate the little things they do and all of the moments you have with them.
