Yes, that’s right. You and your beloved are not going to the same college. He is off to New York and you are staying here in the good ole’ Garden State. And you both have decided to stay together. You don’t even know what to think. You can’t even begin to imagine—What will it be like? Will everything be the same? Will you talk every day? When will you see each other? Will your significant other miss you? How will your relationship survive? Human relationships are tricky. They can’t be predicted and they don’t come with guarantees. At best, your friends, family, and even partners can only give some comforting words like, “It will all be okay …if it was meant to be, then it will be …it won’t be so bad.” Although their efforts are sweet and well-intentioned, you still have that awful anxious-in-the-pit of your stomach feeling and your mind is still spinning with questions. You’re attempting love at distance. You’re going to be miles (possibly even states) away from your partner and you need to know what to expect. You want insights and advice—not from your friends, but from people who’ve been where you now stand. |
