So, you’ll come across so many people in your life. Ones you think will stay in your life, stay with you forever. You come across people you will love, very much.

Now I’m not saying these things will work for you, they’re just some things I’m accustomed to doing or things I have come across and wanted to try.

LDR, just like any relationship it's always a work in progress. Except the fact that your SO is unavailable to you physically either 50% of the time or more, because you either live in different states, across the oceans from each other or work/school keeps them busy. But the main striving point(s) of an LDR is love and honesty, always.

It’s not about the labels or becoming official. It’s about getting to know someone well enough to develop genuine feelings for them. It’s about being understanding and forgiving when situations are at their worst. It’s about loving someone, not for what they have to offer, but for who they are.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that. ~ Dr. Martin Luther King Jr
 

For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before.
