“I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.”

Being in a long distance relationship sucks. Let’s be real, it does. Sometimes, it downright blows. It’s hard on the heart and mind. It requires a lot of work.
It also requires a connection. Something fundamental must draw those two people together; so much so that the suckiness I mentioned above is just a minute detail. Connection doesn’t happen often… maybe even only a few times in your lifetime. Don’t pass it up.
When you love someone, you love them. You can’t explain it, you just feel it. You don’t know why, you just do. Simple as that. Love doesn’t know borders, it doesn’t know geography, it doesn’t know distance.
Love is love… is love.
If you love someone—near or far—love the shit out of that person. Give them all the right reasons to love you back. Give them your all, let them do the same. Everyone says age is just a number, well, miles are just a number, too.
Love will prevail if it’s meant to be. Even though you might miss the person—hell, you might even be angry that you can’t be with them—never lose sight of why it’s worth it. And if it’s worth it, keep going. Let go if it isn’t.
Distance is such a small concept; Love is a huge one. Love helps you grow, it shows you what you’re made of. Let love overcome the distance. Just have faith.

“True love does not come by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.”
—Jason Jordan
“Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again. It’s like singing on a boat during a terrible storm at sea. You can’t stop the raging storm, but singing can change the hearts and spirits of the people who are together on that ship.”
—Anne Lamott, Bird by Bird. (via herarbitrarymusings)
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
—Helen Keller, The Open Door (via serialstranger)
“Many people still confuse ‘attachment’ with ‘love’. Attachments are about fear and dependency, and have more to do with love of self than love of another. Love without attachment is the purest love because it isn’t about what others can give you, because you’re empty. It’s about what you can give others—because you’re already full.”
— Yasmin Mogahed (via starlightraven)

The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire ran wild.
“Anyone who knows me, should learn to know me again;
For I am like the Moon,
you will see me with new face everyday.”
― Rumi
“Never mind what others do; do better than yourself, beat your own record from day to day, and you are a success.”
