Where is the love..?!?

OK...I know. I know. I'm kinda like a groupie, following the tails of Fish & Jessie (didn't know she had one too.)

But this looks fun. Besides, it's a good distraction (actually more like an excuse) from my homework.
Shit, it's 1am and I'm still awake. I have to wake up at 4.30am tomorrow. And I have a running and yoga session back-to-back...Arrrghh....What's wrong with me? I have been doing this since the beginning of this year. Inefficient, ineffective, incapable, in-everything!!!

Sorry, that was a little hysterical....

Alright...what do I want to write about today? Oh yes, taking an inspiration from Fish, the wonders of relationship. "Couples" versus "singles"

As I get older, more and more people are complaining or at least hinting to me that they are still single. They are envious of couples: people like me who are already in a relationship. Especially a stable one too!

From an outsider's point of view, the couple-thing looks so heart-warming and just happy. But that lovey-dovey image is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath the water, there's much more going on. And if ne is not careful, it can become cold and dangerous down there.

Here's my case:

I am have been in a long-distance (and let me tell you that it's a really damn long-distance one...talking about at least 10,000miles) for almost 5 years. (*Note: Until today, I never cease to wonder how I came so far. The thing is, I had so many failed, not to mention short-lived, records in the past that it is a complete miracle that this current lasted.)

I know what you guys are thinking, you guys are like, "What? What are you complaining about, you stupid bitch? At least you got a boyfriend!"

But here's my question, would my relationship have lasted if it wasn't a long-distance one?

I have questioned myself over and over. I have yet to come to a conclusive answer. But then, my gut feeling tells me that the answer is probably no.

Why not? If it can work across the Pacific Ocean, why wouldn't it work when both parties are in the same place? Yah, logically, it should be easier. But I don't think it's as simple as that. If I had stayed, we wouldn't be as appreciative of each other's time and effort. The moments become very precious when we get together for 1 short month each year.

Now that I'm graduating (finally!!), the doubts are coming back again. Would our relationship be strong enough to handle the sudden close-proximity? Afterall, we are more used to being apart than together.

I don't know. Guess I'll have to wait to find out. Oh well, life's a bitch.
