  Reach Out And Touch Someone, Anyone Relationships are hard, but long distance relationships are so much harder. Honestly. They are. I would never, ever recommend them unless you feel connected to the person and trust them completely. If you love the person and they love you back, that too will help you because long distance relationships are tough to maintain if both parties are not on the same boat. They can be a total bitch some times too, especially when you feel lonely and want to be in the company of your significant other, but can't because he (or she) is hundreds of miles away.
(Probably missing you too! ) Anyway, I'm in a long distance relationship with Mr. Forever (the man formally known as Mr. Right) and we have made it a priority to talk everyday. How, you ask? Well, we use a phone, but we've also let modern technology help us with our relationship, and let me tell you, it works. Technology, and all forms of it, has done wonders to help our relationship blossom and connect us on that level of physical touch. Words, as they say, are powerful, and when meant and spoken with sincerity, they will touch you in every way, even over the phone.
Technology is wonderful when you put it to good use. Take computers for example. Computers are amazing little machines. If you have a computer, internet connection, and instant messenger (like Yahoo!, MSN, or AIM), you are set to connect with the world at the comfort of your own home. Both Mr. Right and I use these means for communication on a daily basis. We chat online everyday and stay connected that way. It's great. However, there are times when we both feel lonely and truely yearn to see eachother, so we get connected, Jetson's style. By that, I mean, we both own a web-camera (aka web-cam) and can see eachother via Yahoo Messenger. The web-cam, in my opinion, has revolutionized not only the way people chat online, but how they interact with eachother as well. It's great, but watch out for the nudey people out there! As an experienced chat-user, I've seen people on their web-cams -- literally. Naked men, naked woman, ugly couples, beautiful people, chickens, snakes, tattoos, body piercings, libraries, crappy apartments, beautiful houses, etc., etc..Voyeurism anyone?
Yes, but if you don't like it, the web-cam has a turn off feature, which is great. (Only if life was that easy! ) The web-cam has helped my relationship with Mr. Forever a lot. That, combined with our phone conversations and online chats, the actual distance between us isn't so bad. I do miss him though, like now.
