hey Thinking out lout here
Today's blog is about friendships and long distant relationships hope ya like it :D
I've lost people and gained people, I've managed to make a variety of friendships some that we can go months on end with out talking but when we do eventually talk it's like we talked just the other day like no time has passed at all.
And others have sadly died out not because we never talk, although that is probably one of the reasons, but because we live so far away so we just haven't been able to keep the friendship going like we may have if we lived in the same country. With the ones I have kept it doesn't matter that I live half way around the world from them, because sometimes it's like I still live down the road or just in the next town even though to see them in person I'd have to take two or three aeroplane rides.
It's funny because people we love the most can seem so close yet they live so far away yet we can use Skype and Facetime and it instantly feels like you're in the same room if you both have the exact same drink or food that makes the experience that bit more real. I find it great how much technology these days can keep relationships strong no matter how far away you are from friends and family. Although don't get me wrong its hard to keep friendships and relationships going some are harder than others and don't get me wrong I haven't exactly kept up with some friendships that I wished I had, because when I had them friendships they were great and some of my first friendships and probably some of the best friends I've ever had.
I guess what I'm saying is that sometimes long distance friendships, relationship what ever you want to call it can work. Sometimes they need a lot of work and sometimes they don't need any work just some time to keep the friendships/ relationship going. What ever you do don't give up on it as soon as the going gets tough (a cliche I know but seriously its true) because once you give up there is no going back although nothing is set in stone, meaning you never will go back to the friendship it will just be harder next time round to pick up from were you last left it.
Just think about people you are with now and the friendships you have or even the relationships you have now whether they are in the same town or long distant you never have to lose a friend because of land between you all friendships are worth keeping. You just need to figure out if the friendship is right for you or if your right for the friendship. Just don't let distance put you off something that could be real don't be scared to give it a go because even if it doesn't work out at least you can say you tried and you didn't stop before it had even started.
Love Thinking out loud :D
