"
A relationship is based not on love, but on trust, forgiveness and respect. Trusting that person with who you are and letting them know and understand you. Forgiving that person for each of their wrongdoings however big or small. And respecting them as a person, as an individual and an equal.
In the matter of distance, the only thing that breaks up a long distance relationship is not the space between them, but doubt. Doubt becomes fear, which becomes anger, which in turn forms mistrust, inability to forgive and loss of respect.
The people around you who think you can only fall in love with someone they’ve met are truly lost. They are settling with convenience. With a population well over 7 billion, the person who would compliment your personality, meet levels of attraction and someone you can trust, forgive and respect living in your town is one in shutthefuckup.
They don’t understand love or what it means, they are the ones who are truly blind to see beyond the physical state. Unable to hear the truth of another’s soul and paralysed in the heart to understand the beauty that can be found from opening their heart beyond their home town.
