I recently heard someone say to me in a conversation and I quote :”I thank God I’m not an online thing”
As I said some people would rather stay within their comfort zones for cuddles and physical contact while others would give the world and more to reach out and achieve that same goal. Except they stand on the same intensity and misfortune…someone else could show up in seconds woo your S/O and sweep them off their feet be it close or faraway. There’s no difference in that. And while one makes the move to make plans after work or a common day off on the other half at the other side of the world there’s this amazing person who wishes to have at least 5-10 minutes to see/listen to the person that makes their heart drop.
Well to be honest I was a bit thoughtful upon their words but I can’t say I’d blame them. Not everyone is built for “the online thing”. It takes boldness and a courageous heart to risk itself to venture upon and stay within the status in an ldr. Again to those who are not familiar with the LDR topic, it stands for Long distance relationship. More than just words a relationship of this type is very much time consuming and delicate as one face to face. Texts can become a routine if it’s not taken to another level in the communication department. And many times emotionless due to lack of time or time zone change. Those who can’t conceive being in such a struggle because they’d rather be face to face with the object of their affections would never understand the sacrifice/ struggle of travelling abroad with their heart on their sleeve for that S/O.
There’s no difference in the amount of stress, pain, happiness, nostalgia, anger or even yes the green eyed monster afflictions called jealousy not to mention uncertainty both positions face. Be it near or far they both face the dangers of dying to not resurrect due to different points of view. Now the real question is to stay within the comfort zones we know or take the risk into the unknown and make it a beautiful venture ….? Only you can decide…stay blessed always.
Voice of a broken heart 
Not everyone is built with an emotional conviction, strong enough, to carry on a relationship like a long distance one. So, people like that tend to either shorten as fast as possible that distance in time and space, give up because the struggle is unbearable or just plainly not even try it. There are others that though they were not looking for an LDR to happen, one develops, and all of a sudden they find themselves expecting anxiously for those (like you said) 5 or 10 minutes to see/listen the person that, they just realized, makes their heart drop. They hearts tell their minds to construct little routines, plans and living episodes that will only happen with that person; that far away person. Those odd days that they do not coincide (that sometimes increment in occurrence) are filled with a constant review of all those past 5 or 10 minutes of shared connection. They arrived to the conclusion that there’s a significance in that other person. That significant other fills their present, their intimidate future, and in some special cases, may have already filled deeply their past.
The world keeps turning, space keep bending, reshaping, and time, as the fickle mistress she is, wait for no one; that in turn makes an LDR a dangerous place for a loving, warm heart to be, but the ideal firing range for any cold heart to pull the trigger from a distance.
