How To Make Long Distance Relationship Work

-
Love and relationship are two of the things that we treasure most in our personal life. However, how do we deal with distance? What if the person we love is miles away from us? Can we still make it work?

I have heard of couples going their separate ways because of distance. I did not quite understand why. I am in similar situation for almost a year now and I’m not having any problems about it. Then I began to ponder, what made our relationship work in spite of the distance?

I realized that there are several factors that can affect long distance relationship. They are as follow:

1. Your decision to make it work

It all starts with your decision to make it work. If you want the relationship to last, the two of you should decide to make it happen. It is not easy, but as long as you commit to the relationship, you will make it happen. Moreover, if you like what you do, you would not feel like you are exerting effort to make it work.

2. Communication

This is vital in any form of relationship. Our generation has been blessed with reliable technology, which makes it easier to communicate with ease. Take advantage of the devices we have. Email each other, send SMS or leave a voice mail. There are so many ways to communicate today. So do not forget to ask your love one how his day went. If you sense that, there is something wrong, talk about it. A good communication line is a very big part of making the relationship work.

3. Honesty

Be honest at all times. If you are going to go out with friends, let the other person know about it. Honesty will help you build a good foundation for your relationship. If something is bothering you, be honest about it and talk it over.

4. Trust

You cannot make a long distance relationship work without trust. Make sure that you trust your partner because if you don’t, you will only hurt yourself. Being paranoid about everything is unhealthy, so do yourself a favor and trust your partner.

5. Letting the person know how much you care for him or her

This is very important. Even if you are not physically there, make sure that he or she feels your love and care. A simple text message goes a log way. You can also call him or her after a tiresome day. Send her flowers from time to time. These little things will help remind you how much you love each other.
Making a long distance relationship work is difficult. However, it is not impossible. You just need to make a commitment to make it work.

Your relationship will not work unless you decide and commit to make it work. It is not an easy undertaking, but success is possible.

A REFLECTION PAPER ON METAPHYSICS

-
A single idea cannot encapsulate the way the world is…. What is the true reality? Can we find answer to the real sense of the world by finding the ultimate individual? Or is it in the external world apart from us that could be brought by our sensations and addressed by a supreme mind? Is it in the realization that we are in a continuous movement of time? Or is it in the thesis that what is true to us could actually be false? IIrwagen’s book presented some very intriguing points for someone who does not think like he does. I don’t think like he does. In fact, as I was reading his work, I was asking myself if there is actually a point of reading his book. His book, Metaphysics, talked about what ultimate reality is and if our world is actually the real world. So what then if the world we live in is not as real as most of the population deems it to be? Would it change the fact that our basic needs are food, water and shelter? Are we going to forego our ambition

Why You Need to Take it Easy on Yourself?

How many times have you blamed yourself for things gone wrong? Plans going south? And goals remaining unmet? Often, you see yourself at a standstill, feeling like you are not getting anywhere in life. Yes, it is often disappointing to see how much you have given and yet you are still far off from your dreams. In fact, you will often feel that what you want are moving away from you, and perhaps, they are not meant for you. But these thoughts are just that, thoughts, they are not your reality, so get easy on yourself. What you feel is valid, but it is temporary: All of us feel that way sometimes, and it is important to recognize those feelings. However, we cannot dwell on them for long because if we do, we will fail to recognize all the good things that happened to us. We would miss the chance of enjoying our little victories. Although it does not feel good to see our plans shatter, remember that those are just hiccups. You can only stare at the broken glass for so long, b

Reliving Notting Hill

I am a hopeless romantic. Let’s have that out of the way before you continue reading this blog. If you have read my blog about Aiza’s rendition of I Won’t Hold You Back , this is sort of the epilogue, the blogs are not really related but the song led me to look for Anna Scott’s (Julia Roberts) famous line, “I’m also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her.” Ouch… Well, let’s not be unfair to William Thacker (Hugh Grant). He is an unbelievably nice guy, who does not seem to get mad at the movie - considering what he’s been through. He had his heart broken by the same girl 3 times in the movie, I believe. Let’s take a look at the story first. It is not your typical love story, somewhat predictable but very interesting. It does not happen all the time as well. I mean, come on, what are the odds of John Lloyd Cruz eating at my store, spilling his shirt with a drink and offering him our house so he could change? Hmmmm.. well now that I think about i
