Everyone of us have surely heard about long distance relationships and none of us find it okay to be in one. Actually distance makes things touch, distance is not just about kilometres, distance is the void that is created between two people because of a lot of things like emotional void, void of communication, void of trust, void of words, void of actions and to cover it all, void of understanding. It is not necessarily about two people who have a romantic connection, it is about any two people who love each other and care for each other.
So you might be wondering, where there is love and care there can't be the kind of distance I just talked about. But distance develops where love exists. So it is not bad to have emotional distance till the time it's not affecting the way two people think about each other. The moment thoughts about each other change, things start to change between them.
Building trust is the most crucial step in any relationship and maintaining that is the easiest when you trust your own intentions. It becomes hard when doubt strikes in and fills the air with unwanted conclusions. So when you feel you are being pulled out of a relationship because of your emotional connection, stop right there and think. Think about the things that matter. Unnecessary thoughts are for free but they cost you your love, trust, connection or relationship. While meaningful thoughts don't come easy but they give you clarity about various things. If the fear of losing what you have with someone makes you want to keep them, you know your answers.
Don't blame distance for everything that goes on in your mind. Distance teaches us a lot that being together cannot. I think we should try and embrace all the situations life puts us in and let the realisations come in.
Distance between two hearts is scarier than the distance between two places. If you are sure you don't have the first one, you don't have to worry about the second. Sometimes distance can give two people a reason to love harder. Distance become test of love, many will fail who can't withstand it and who can, that is nothing but “true love”. Just talk through all the struggles and hard feelings. Share all the little things happening in your life. Make time for each other, trust more doubt less. If the relationship matters, the distance doesn't!
