Long Distance: Hurts and Heals (H&H)

Alright. For many of those close to me, they know that I am in a long distance relationship. And no one knows how I keep it working. Well here are some things for everyone to keep in mind.
           Hurts and Pains:
-He can't hold me in his arms
-He can't kiss me
-He can't come over when I need him after a bad day
-We miss each other everyday
            Heals and Safety:
-We can't get pressured into doing anything we don't want to
-Our parents don't have to worry about hormones controlling our judgement
-We get to plan to see each other for extensive periods of time on schools off season
-No worries about meeting each others parents
-He calls everyday as much and for as long as we want
-He texts me every half hour telling me he loves me
-He always tells me how beautiful I am
-We can focus on learning everything about each other instead of liking each other just for our body
-We learn patience
-We know distance means nothing to our real love
-We develop trust much more quickly
-We learn everything about each other so when we are together we know just what to expect and say
-His friends talk to me and approve of me
-My friends talk to him and approve of him
-We know just how to handle each other
-If we fight, we know to just talk things over
-He knows how to make me happy
-I know how to make him happy
-Even when his parents didn't approve of me, he fought to stay with me
-His brother knows me
-My sister knows and jokes with him
-Our parents get along
-Our relationship is safe and no one wants to tear us apart
                   As you can see, the better side out weighs those of the bad. And we have all the things needed for a lasting relationship. He became my best friend before asking me out. Our families work together. Our friends like each other and us. Our hormones aren't controlling the relationship. And we talk through our problems. We trust each other with our lives. Now that's how you work a relationship. Most teenage relationships barely have two of these things. And they are too focused on the bad to realize the upside of things. Now I dare you to make a list and see if your relationship is driven by hormones. Or if it's true and real love. -Your Relationship Master, Love-Hate Girl
