There is a saying: “Pain is inevitable but suffering is optional”
Right now, the man I love is back home in another country. We have been together for less than a year and a major part of that year is long-distance. Some questions I considered:
Do I really know what the future will hold? No, but we do have a working plan to get an intersection point in the next 3-4 years.
Will this relationship last? Maybe, only the future will tell but i want to give it my 100%
Do I feel miserable and lonely without him sometimes? Yes
Will I get hurt? I hurt myself more with my own doubts, judgement and insecurities
Do i have faith in what we have? Yes, the past relationships may have failed but i believe in me, him and us
Will I feel like a fool if it ends? No, I did my best
I like what VJ wrote: surrender and embrace the unknown.
