London2Athens, many of you who live like this probably know how difficult is to keep a healthy relationship when she/he is so far away. You schedule your holidays very carefully in order to securel some moments with them, even though this often leads to a stressful phase where you have to come up with a master plan that leaves everyone happy. It's more obvious during the summer, but it can stretch throughout the entire year.
You seize these moments, you want to make the most out of it. At least that's the theory. Because you soon feel that time is slipping away, and you start to freak out. You ask more. And in most cases you don't get it. Cause relationships can't work like that. They need the luxury of time to develop in a harmonic way. Speed it up and you'll crash. Slow it down and you'll get there eventually.
Phone calls, Skype, MSN, e-mails and text messages are just a cheap alternative, I just can't get enough, I just can't get enough as the famous (stupid) tune goes. These alternative types of communication miss the body language interaction and in the cases of two lovers, they are almost useless. A couple needs to look each other in the eyes when they share words of affection, they need to hold hands when they are dreaming a common future. Distance is killing all these moments that trully define a relationship.
And you keep waiting and waiting for these rare moments. These everyday-life moments.
When I think about it, distant relationships miss exactly this point....
every-day life
