Everyone always asks "how do you make it work?", when really if someone would ask
"why you make it work?" they'd understand.
I fell in love with a boy back home long after I had left, it wasn't like we had to adjust to me being here while he is there. We knew we were going to be together, no matter what it meant we had to do. He and I?
We can take on anything that life throws at us, together. Sometimes we'll go weeks without seeing each other, and it's not fun. Honestly, the longer we're together, the more I wish I had him by my side every single day. But before we get there, there are a thousand things we have to accomplish.
Understanding that we have our own things to do, our own mountains to climb, is such an important part of our relationship. What we don't do is hold one in higher regards than the other or make someone's important events more important than the others.
I always make sure to make note of when his concerts are when he has a big test and just ask how his day is every day. Amazingly, he does the exact same thing in return. He never forgets when i have a big project and always ask about how my time with my favorite group of kids was.
I never make it work, I've never had to make it work. We simplyworked. We work because we love each other, we respect each other and we support one another. I know I've written about him countless times but I've yet to run out of things to say. When you love someone, 10, 100, 1000 miles is nothing. Sacrificing time together to have the lives you know you both deserve, is nothing.
