It never crossed my mind that one day I will have a long distance relationship. Not even in my wildest dream. I’ve tried it once or twice, but none of them worked. Once I thought the basic principle of having a relationship is being together, meaning that you can actually meet the person whom you have relationship with. Relationship with such distant seemed so surreal for me. Nothing you can really hope. Like, when you need someone to help you with school work, he can’t really be there to help you. And other stuff like that.
But somehow it changed. I started seeing long distance relationship in a different way.
I know both cities are still in the same island. I know that the technology of telecommunication is developing rapidly. But meeting him in person is still something very special since you can’t see him everyday. So the time when you’re having him with you feels so precious. I learned how the length of the distance taught me to be more patient, and trustful, and faithful. It’s more difficult since you know you can do anything without him knowing whatever you’re doing. Some might think that’s what makes long distance relationship very hard. You can’t stop being curious and jealous and any other negative feeling, you name it. I myself also feel it sometimes.
But for me, it shouldn’t always be that bad. It thrills me when something so far feels so close to your heart. When something in such distant can make a lot of impact to yourself. And it’s even better when something so far finally gets so close to you. I don’t know… it feels that good for me. Depok to Jogja doesn’t seem that far anymore now.
