So today I came home from school, and usually I think about you through out the day.
Normal stuff right? And I thought.. man, it is just great to know that I have you in my life
And we were talking about the existence of God in class and I'm thinking,
I know the existence of you! Of Hanna! the person that I have wanted all my life exists!
And of course it is a little wacky to think about.. But then again I just came out of philosophy
soo this is the study of wisdom.. I guess wisdom makes you a little wacky sometimes haha
But I saw someone who was relatively your height, wore an outfit similar to one of yours
and was about your height
And I walked to my car with the memory of you walking beside me.
It was such a nice experience being at a distance from you
(It was like the Starbucks experience)
I remembered the way you looked at a distance when we would walk toward each other
from the quad after you have recording and I would be coming from the computer lab.
The smile on your face and your height compare to mine
and the way your eyes glistened when you look at me
It was really quite the romantic individual moment now that I think about it.
Well.. it's not individual because it involved you, even though you didn't experience it.
But it was a little neat phenomenon I experienced again.
I was missing you today too, which was probably why this happened of all days
Then I went home and I decided to do a little long distance relationship research
And I was wondering if they mentioned this phenomenon that I had, which they did not
I did not find much of it, but from what I read up this is what I learned about long distance relationships itself
It also made me think about when you said the other day it is harder to develop our relationship at a distance
But from this article a psychologist says:
http://health.usnews.com/health-news/news/articles/2013/07/19/long-distance-relationship-may-strengthen-couples-bond
"Indeed, our culture emphasizes being together physically and frequent face-to-face contact for close relationships, but long-distance relationships clearly stand against all these values. People don't have to be so pessimistic about long-distance romance," Jiang said in a journal news release. "The long-distance couples try harder than geographically close couples in communicating affection and intimacy, and their efforts do pay back."
From this quote it sounds like we're definitely doing something for our relationship right?
I mean think about it, what a commitment we're making to each other
It shows how mature we are too, it definitely shows the meaning of our relationship
to each other and that we're in this together
We're doing a beautiful thing <3
Other article mentions about intimacy saying
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/07/20/long-distance-relationships-2013/2568295/
"When you're not there with the person every day, you're not seeing their highs and lows, and you're not exposing them to your feelings," Whitbourne says." You can create an ideal image of your significant other which builds intimacy."
Which is interesting too because it means when you create this image of me,
you have a strong idea of who I am
Instead of only loving me for who you see. This is the mental side of love.
It's quite interesting :)
It's sociology stuff I guess haha
So we are developing our relationship, maybe we don't see it right away
But when we see each other in person again after the next 3 weeks
It will definitely feel like we developed something.
They say relationships take work and it does
I believe it is worth it
The more we go through, the stronger we will be
That's how marriages are too! When you have kids it's supposed to make it harder
But if a married couple goes through it they're a stronger couple
So yeah here was my little romantic story of the day of you
and a little nerdy research haha :p
I love you <3
Happy Early Valentines Day! (seemed like the thing to say ;))
P.S. I thought about making part of this a letter thing, but
no way this could wait a week for a response ahah..
:*
