Distance: Introducing the Loveghost

It's been over 2 months since I've blogged but I'm pleased to announce Free Love is back. With a twist.

Before I tell you the twist, I will say that my hiatus was due to many reasons, the main ones being that I was lazy and working my you know what off so I didn't have time to do this. But, on a love note, I will say that I've spent the past year and some change blogging about love and in my own life, I'm now wondering what happens after you've found the love. I've been in limbo, never wanting to fail my single readers but coming from a different place now...

So, I have someone here to solve my problems while I decide where I'm going to go with my entries...

Name: Loveghost.

Loveghost is an actual person who is sending me entries via email for me to post. Are you creeped out? Don't be. Loveghost is a credible source, someone who has helped me out with many rough love patches.

So, here's Loveghost's very first entry...

Distance.

We all know couples who have broken up because of it. But are the reasons ever justified? We’ve heard it all: communication is going to be difficult, less physical intimacy, more prone to cheating, etc. Well I say that we need to get over that BS. The bottom line is that people are lazy. They do not want to put in that extra work in a long distance relationship, so either one or both of them quit.

But here’s my thing, convenience in a relationship is a privilege, not a right. Distance will inevitably be part of most relationships. People are always in a transitional state; whether it is high school to college, college to grad school/full-time work, or work to another work location. So if couples are too lazy to deal with distance, then they should probably never date. Because when you go out with someone, you never know where both of you will end up in the future.

You should never let distance stop you from something that could be amazing. Sometimes you have to think of the big picture. You may be long distance for many years, but that’s small compared to the number of years you will have with your partner once you get back together. Distance should be looked at as something that strengthens a relationship instead of something that weakens one.

Bottom line, sacrifice is a big part of any relationship. Don’t get lazy. Take that chance with your partner if it goes long distance. And remember, there’s a reason God invented cars, planes, and video-chatting.
