You're in a long-distance relationship and it's hard

I loved across every distance imaginable, so I know both the ache of it and what it takes. The distance is real, and so is the love that spans it — loving across distance is genuinely hard, the absence of touch and daily presence a true ache, and also the love that persists is proving something, spanning miles easier loves never test, so honor both the difficulty and the devotion it reveals; the doing of something hard for love is itself a proof of its depth. Build connection through the channels distance leaves open — the long conversations, the words carrying what touch cannot, the shared experiences across the miles, for distance can deepen certain intimacies, making you talk and share and know each other more thoroughly. And know what you are enduring toward, or the distance corrodes — be honest about where this is going, for distance with a shared plan to close the gap can be borne while endless distance with no horizon wears love down. Hold the shared destination before you. Is there a plan for eventually closing the distance?
