The Long Distance Thing...

You know few days back I was blog browsing (yeah, blogspot lets you do that by clicking on the "next blog" button on the top right corner) and I stopped and read a blog about this chinese girl across the causeway (that's Singapore for those who didn't get it :P). In one particular entry, she talked about how sweet her bf was but at the same time she is afraid of becoming too dependent on her guy. I guess she is at that age, and being with the first love... I am reminded of how I was and funny, I too had the same fears.

Maybe it effects mostly girls, it takes time to find that balance to love and still be independent emotionally? Or am I just being silly? But I do feel different with my relationship to my Baby now than I was with my first guy... if not how could I agree to letting him choose a career that will eventually take him far away from me?? :-? The odds of long distance relationship is really stacked against us, but I just know it we can make it work! What better thing to give your loved one than the chance and support to follow his dreams? I will not choose otherwise if given another chance. :) And of course, his short visits back does help ALOT! ;)

Friends asks me how does it feel to be alone, its really a weird feeling actually, a bit sad but strangely empowering! A happily married friend of mine that weathered the long distance thing told me this when I asked him for any survival tips, "There is no tips or tricks, its either you survive it or not.. " His answer was like an epiphany for me and I was comforted really, it all depends on you and your guy as it should ;)

To my Baby in Dhaka always take care of yourself and watch what you eat :) Hopefully, you get to go to nicer places (think China! think Korea!) so I get to visit these places and start collecting cool visa stickers on my non-existent interntional passport! :P
