Long Distance Relationship: How's It Been?
Like what I have mentioned before, Darren is already in Australia. I know that I have been sharing our adventures and stories here. But now, I've finally come to the point where I'll share our journey as a couple in a long distance relationship.
Let me start this story-telling by sharing what I felt when we dropped them off the airport. Honestly, I felt mixed emotions that time. Part of me was sad, because Darren and I will be apart. But the other part of me also felt the excitement and happiness knowing that he'll going to be in different country with better opportunities.
Everything felt heavy when I was already looking at him walking away. Before he went inside the airport, I told him not to look back because I don't want him to see the sadness and pain on my face. And he did what he promised to me, he did not look back. From that moment up until we went home, I was holding up my tears. Not until I was already in my room. That is when I realized I am not going to see him for years, and that thought sucked.
I had to wait for 10 hours before I got his first call from Australia. The flight from Manila, Philippines to Sydney, Australia took 8 hours. Then, they had to wait at the airport before they finally got home.
It was really hard at first, especially because I got used to the fact that he's with me almost every day. And the adjustments started to kick in, from the timezone to how we will talk to each other in a day. In Sydney, they are 3-hours ahead of us. Meaning, if it's 7:00 in the morning, it's already 10:00AM in there. And I think we're lucky that the timezone between us works fine.
Here's our family picture through a video call when they visited Bulli Beach:
The only communication we have is through video calls and messaging. But no worries, since we got used to not talking much at all.
Being in a long distance relationship is never easy. There are days when you feel like you don't want to talk, or gets too emotional. Whenever I'm in this mood, Darren will call right away to talk to me and show me his goofy face.
I think the best thing about Darren is that he never makes me feel like I am thousands of miles away from him. He always sounded like I was also there with him. He never wanted to make me feel like I was left all alone. And that's what I am so grateful for.
During the days when I'm unstable, or in the edge of breaking down, he's always there to listen and make me smile in his own little ways. Because what else could he do? He's still the same Darren who's looking over my back, and my support system.
It's been almost 6 months since he went to Australia, but I never felt too distant from him. It feels the same, and the only barrier we have is the distance between us.
I love how he's working on his adjustments there, and making friends. Actually, he's always telling me stories about how his day went, the people he met, and it feels good that he's finally fitting in. I know he'll do better in there.
To answer the question, we are doing so fine on our long distance relationship. I am not loving him less just because he's away. But we've promised to work this out, and once everything's settled, we can finally find our way back to each other. It will take time, patience, trust, and consistency but we're not backing down.

Communication is the most important thing in a relationship so distance should not be a barrier in a relationship.
