6364km

"To my Sun, Moon & Stars"

"...it's just 273 days to go!"

Yesterday morning, I said goodbye "see you soon" to someone who means a lot to me. Someone whom I am very glad to have met and someone who I can always count on. I guess it's no point not mentioning this someone in my blog posts anymore considering of how long we've been together.

So keeping the introduction short, meet Bryan. My best friend, personal cheerleader/chef/driver/keeping-me-sane person and the most annoying per my boyfriend. (Iloveyou,B)

look at those chubby cheeks

Never thought that a day like this would come but yes, I'm now in a long distance relationship. What's ironic is that I used to be one of those people who would've doubted long distance relationships. But I now understand why couples doing ldr work so hard to keep their relationship going. Having someone now who means a lot to me and someone who is at the same wavelength as me is something I wouldn't want to let go of easily.

Truth be told, if it weren't because of the right time and/or place, I would never have met Bryan. So, lucky me (: I remember the very first time we met, it's quite a funny story but that's a story for another time.

He's about 6364km away from me now, which sucks :( but the fact that I have someone I care so deeply for to miss comforts me a lot. It's only been the first day of ldr but I am already dreading this. However, still staying strong because I need to be strong for the both of us.

The airport goodbye was terrible. I remember sitting with him in the car and just wishing for the car ride to never end. When we got to the airport, I tried so hard to hold in my tears. I failed, of course, because I'm such an emotional train wreck. That feeling when you watch the person you love wave goodbye to you and slowly walk away. It still brings tears to my eyes. The last hug before he lets go, the last turn before he disappears, the last smile of his you see. The ride home from the airport was so painful. Knowing that he's not going to be around for a while, that you're not going to see him in person for a few months, that you won't have car rides together or meals together for awhile. But hey, who am I to complain. LDR couples back in the day had it worse than we do now. With Skype and Whatsapp and email, ldr is a lot easier to manage than it was then.

So here's to staying strong and having someone to love.

See you soon, B.
