Keeping a balance.
16 months ago
Four nights ago, my boyfriend of just under a year, A, told me that he couldn’t handle the distance of our relationship any more. The distance is geographical; he lives in Israel, I in the UK. Because moving to Israel is difficult even with a student visa, and because the UK is currently boycotting Israel’s academic institutions (something I disagree with wholeheartedly), neither of us can move to be with each other. We haven’t lost our friendship, though. That is the most important thing.
I’m shocked, almost, that I’ve come through this weekend unscathed and without having cried on everyone I know. Maybe I am getting better at being myself.
