Feel like a baby... 1 week ago

Trying to hold every single tear back. This feels impossible. I wish he would jump out of the pictures I keep staring at…

Untitled 2 weeks ago

I wish I could just sit and talk to her, with no time constraints. It sucks being limited like that. I really hope someone buys these paintings so I can go see her. Her mind is so many places that I can only catch it for a moment and I have to leave a lasting impression. I love her, and I know she’s going to be someone so incredible and i hope she knows that.Am I a love sick fool? All these people around me purely focused on art, while i use part of my attention to give to the one i love? I know that if it came down to it, I’d get the boot if i became a distraction… maybe..this time, because I’mthe one willing to settle down, my partner wont want that..n i wont hold her back… sigh

Med-School Sucks... 2 weeks ago

My boyfriend is from France and going to Med School in the US would be too expensive.

He got accepted into Med School in the Caribbeans. Yeah, sounds exciting, but it’s not. He’s so busy with classes and studying so hard every day that we barely get to talk except once a week on Skype and through really short “How’s it going” e-mails.

I won’t be able to see him until Christmas and it sucks! He’s been gone for over two months and I miss him.

2 years and we’ll be back together for sure! Can’t wait! He’s going to make an excellent doctor!

Can't believe it! 2 weeks ago

I just thought I would give a quick update on here, when I noticed that 2 months has passed since I was going to see my fiance last!! I was there for 3 weeks, so that adds to it, but still. I think I must be getting used to this because every week felt like a year before my last trip back.
Well, we are still going strong! We speak every day still, but have been having problems with the internet so can’t always have a webcam call. That is frustrating, it is amazing the difference it makes being able to see the person you are talking to!
It has been a wee bit hard the last 3 weeks because I broke my ankle. Thankfully I am staying with my parents for the time being here in the Middle East, so they can help me out, but sometimes I just need a hug from the man I love! He feels terrible not being able to be here for me too.
But hopefully the distance is coming to an end… I have a feeling we will be back together soon.
And I managed to follow my own advice and we managed to not fight too much while I was home (once or twice, which is to be expected really!). It made all the difference and we had a fantastic time together, the great Spanish weather helped. We got out of the house and did lots of activities (Kayaking, sailing, water park, drove up a huge mountain, eating out, dancing…it has been brilliant!). And we managed to keep the tears at bay until the last hour or so before I left. Made every minute count.
Well, I’ll be back to update soon I’m sure <3

Passport time~ 4 weeks ago

I must get a passport this week so i can see her at the end of the year :D



The best couple of days for awhile ♥ 4 weeks ago

I’m so happy that you came here. And that we talked. But now I am a bit sad cos you had to leave. I could have stayed like that for ever. I’m your arms. Next to you. It just feels so right. No one else makes me feel like this.



Yeah 1 month ago

I still have so much faith in us. I know we can make it. Even though long distance relationship isn’t always easy, I wouldn’t change this to any other relationship with someone else. We have soon been together 2 years (and in LD all that time, even though the distance has gotten smaller after the first year) and it’s not always easy to be apart. But every time I am with him, when we see again after awhile, It’s always worth waiting. And I still get excited every time we meet. And when we aren’t together, I know he’s not going anywhere. I’ll be waiting for him as well. This relationship, him, gives me a lot of strength face my uncertain future. Our future.

Yeah. I still love him a lot ♥
