The other option involves my bipolar condition. Since I have become much more open about my disorder, I have met other people sailing in similar boats and that has been an invaluable source of humor and wisdom for me. It's not a funny condition to be in but I do know that as long as I can still laugh (even if it's a dark, warped, twisted laugh), I'm doing just fine.
So back to the relationship part. This is the first time that I've ever been in a long distance relationship..........although....when I lived in Long Beach, I did date someone who lived in East LA which really should constitute a long distance relationship in more ways than just miles.
The upside to being in a long distance relationship:
1. You don't need to shave all the time.
2. If you're one of those get-in-trouble-for-shopping-all-the-timers, you could easily get away with buying new things because your partner never really sees your closet.
3. If you get a bad haircut/color, it'll be kinda grown out by the next time that you see them.
4. You have a lot more Pinterest time.
5. You never really fight........well, unless you count the times when your boyfriend refuses your Words With Friends request for a rematch.
6. There's no need to be embarrassed if you're having intestinal issues one day.
7. You appreciate your time together much more.
The downside to being in a long distance relationship:
1. Is it "Absence makes the heart grow fonder" or "Out of sight, out of mind"?
2. Those days when you just need a hug.
3. Your "Contact in case of emergency" would need to catch a plane before they could be there.
4. You can't take your cute shoes with you in the interest of packing space in your carry-on.
5. No one to stop you from breaking something in the process of trying to "fix" it.
6. Also no one to kill large, creepy bugs.
7. But most of all, not being with your favorite person in the world.
