#longdistanceprobz

steve having the pleasure of skyping me and lilly on saturday night

So long-distance is tough, there's really no way around it.  And call me crazy, but i normally don't skype often, or talk on the phone.  I find that the more i do that, especially when i'm away at school, it makes it worse... i end up missing him more.  I really don't think that there is any textbook-lovey dovey solution for dealing with long-distance... BUT i do know that there are alot of rewards to going through it too.  I've always been independent, but i'm definitely even more so after almost 3 years of being away at Delaware.  You learn that you can get through most things alone, and even if you plan to be together forever... it's always good to see what exactly you can do on your own, because plans change and you never want to rely on someone else.  AND when you do see each other, after a month or 2... it is so much better than when you see each other every weekend.  

I'm not gonna go all sappy in this post... but i do have to say, he's the best thing that's ever happened to me and i've loved him for 5 years (but really since 6th grade... do the math) hahaha!  Hopefully this long distance thing ends for good once we graduate, but if not, hey- atleast we know how to deal with it by now!
