Thanks Dimi, I 'm glad you liked it. I sincerely hope that this post resonates with as few people as possible. Being in a long distance relationship is not fun.
I've never heard that quote (hope is not a plan) but it's 100% fitting! I 'hoped' to go to japan to be with my long-distance bf at the time, all while not even studying japanese and as I was planning for a 3-year degree in Italy. He had all the rights to call it quits and did I learn? nahhhh. watch me enter another long distance relationship with a guy in England! Having a plan is applicable to in-person relationships too! But that's something people barely realise.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I don't think people do not realize it. I think it is in our nature to avoid problems we know cannot be solved. Just like when you have a ton of studying to do before an exam and you know it is impossible, so you take a nap instead. Similarly, if we want to be with a person, but we know it will not work, we prefer to avoid facing the reality of an impossible plan.
Spot on, it's all about the light in the tunnel. Well written, great post!
