So much has happened in the past week!

Long Distance Round 2

My boyfriend and I are long distance whenever I have a break from school (summer, Christmas, spring), and they all suck, but summer is definitely the worst. Because it’s the longest, obviously. Tomorrow I’m getting up and going home for the summer, and I couldn’t even spend tonight with him or see him tomorrow. We see each other almost every day, so the next few days are going to be no fun.

Now that I’ve done this a few times, I’ve got a few more tools in my arsenal to combat it. I know that the first 3-7 days are the hardest, and sometimes I cry because I miss him so much and I won’t be able to see him for a month or more. Is that pathetic? I don’t care. Next, I’ve got my job lined up (I’m a seasonal associate at Victoria’s Secret, and I’m apparently so good that they ask me to work whenever I have a break from school, or are just up for a weekend), and a summer class. It took me a long time to learn this the hard way, but long distance in your relationship gives you a unique opportunity to focus on and pursue other areas in your life because you have to, or you’ll be moping around all the time. I’m purposely giving myself distractions so that I won’t do that!

We also set a date to see each other before I left, so I do have something to look forward to. I love my family so much, but Dom is my boyfriend, and best friend. We’ve made it through so much, and we’re soulmates. It doesn’t feel good to be separated from your soulmate :(

Tonight I had to come back to my apartment instead of staying with him tonight and cuddling, and we said goodbye for the next few weeks. I am the biggest baby, I was crying on his shoulder while he was hugging me, and we did all our little inside jokes and things. I tend to have this problem where I just weep when I get emotional. Happy or sad. And my boyfriend, bless his heart, just puts up with it. So I’m all sniffly, and alone, and going to bed. Goodnight.
