Everything was going so well 🙁
Then, COVID-19 ripped us apart.
We didn’t have much time to figure things out before she had to go back home, so we kinda left it at that. Just seeing how it goes and taking it from there.
Now that reality has sunk in and we’ve both realized we’re probably not going to see each other for the next six months, the question hangs over our heads. Now what? I’m proud that we’re both good at communicating (or attempting to communicate) our emotions to each other, and after a lengthy talk I think we’re still gonna stick with the “see how it goes” model. Unexciting, I know, but it makes the most sense as of now. At least for me, I think it’s too premature to take a break when we haven’t actively tried out LDR, and it’ll probably add another stress onto my life constantly thinking about what could’ve been. But on the other hand, we can’t go about pretending that this is the same relationship as before because it just isn’t. We’ll have to accept and adapt to quarantined relationship one way or another. For now, I’ve been calling her daily and it makes my day just seeing her smile on laggy 720p Messenger video. I’m confident (naive?) that this will somehow work out. It has to.
