When love hits you, it’s an amazing feeling. You jump for joy and smile at the touch of wind upon your face. At moments, you seem to move at the flash of light and pause only to reflect the feeling. As others come around, your vibes attack their immediate surroundings and influence their spirit to take part in the celebration. You know, love hits hard and as it lights those dark corners of your life, it brightens your future outlook on life.
Love the idea of being in love? Well we all do because its an emotional high at every onset. We want it, fight for it, fien for it and swear by it. Love is the one perspective of our lives where fantasy and realty gets to dance the tango. Love is and always will be the ultimate gift.
Finding love is a challenge. Why? Because you have perceptions of what love is or how it’s defined by the influence of imagination. Or you see love in the fairy tale of childhood stories, or as a teen developing a sense of bad boy/bad girl attraction. The evolution for your own definition aids your search for the one. What love is happens to be how you define it in physical and emotional form.
So why is it hard to accept love from a distance? You want those immediate things that only the physical presence gives. On a cold winter morning you get to snuggle for added heat. One a spring afternoon, you get to lay next to him/her in the park enjoying sunlight. During summer’s eve, you can dine at the finest hour enjoying the full moon of affection. Those things you can’t do online or over the phone. In addition, not having him or her close is like fighting an invasion of loneliness. You jump online in hopes you connect to the person your heart desires.
Long distance isn’t easy and it’s not for the weak at heart. Having a huge gap between times you visit does not make for celebration when meeting. These times are good, but short lived and only adds spice to a relationship. A couple of days are not enough to share hardships and disappointments. Visits doesn’t give chance at discovering horrible habits or questionable behaviors. Nor is a weekend long enough to spark a true reflection on a solid future.
You fall in love hoping for the best. You live for future a partnership determined to reach an elderly age. It’s all in those defining moments of meeting; rather withing five minutes of each other or beyond the horizon past the sunset. It’s both people working to unite under one roof.
One roof is where the next resolution begins.
