There is this shake-off that normally happens at the beginning of every year in people's relationships. At the beginning of every year, people retrospect about the way their life has gone so far and are considering a better way to live in other to fulfill their dreams and achieve their goals in life. Most people call it new year resolutions.
The bitter-sweet implication of this decision on our relationship is that it takes away people that we love from us. People that mean a lot to us. Have you ever found yourself in a situation where the one you love comes to you happily and says; "dear, I have gotten an admission to study in a very distant state or country or where your partner tells you; dear, my dad asked me to come over to the city to start up a business. How did you feel?
It's like a sword piercing one's heart, you don't know whether to cry or to be happy. If humans are to choose, I believe we will always wish to be with the one we love for the rest of our lives.
The truth is that life in most cases will not always give us that favorable conditions.
Now, if you are planing or you are about to decide whether to go into a distant relationship, Here is my advice;
Create good memories, by memories, I don't just mean going to the shopping mall and restaurants all the time. Yes, they are good but that is not the type of memories am talking about even though it's still part of it.
Create memories by discussing important issues, talking about the future, impacting each other something that you guys can look back and say; if not for this girl or if not for this guy I wouldn't have accomplished this or that.
Circumstances of life can put your relationship on a distance level without prior notice, so whenever you find yourself in a relationship, please try and make the best memories out of it because when every other thing fails, it is those memories that will keep you guys going.
Are you in a distance relationship already? don't worry, here are the few things you have to do.
Communication: always communicate through calls, SMS, chats, etc. But be careful not to make it toxic. You can't be calling morning, afternoon, and night ehh!. Of course, it will turn toxic and you guys will get fed up.
Visit: please whenever you have the opportunity try and visit each other it has a way of boosting your relationship. if you are in a distant relationship and you haven't seen each other for a long time, despair will set in and with time you will want to quit.
Distance relationship needs a mature mind, discipline in other to keep it going as the issue of trust, cheating, disappointment will always be at the corner waiting to take advantage.
Cheers to all those that are still holding unto their distance relationship, I celebrate you guys
I wish you guys the best of LUCK!!!
