Measuring Your Heart's Strength

“Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold.
It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone
In exchange for a little time with the one they love.
It’s for those knowing a good thing when they see it,

even if they don’t see it nearly enough…”

-Michelle&Frank www.lovingfromadistance.com

..Wow, never thought the day will come, I'll be quoting websites.

I don't know exactly how I came across their website. It's now one of my favorites. Of course I never left comments, or told the author how much I appreciate their site. I'm just there to leech ideas and loving the experiment. Michelle and Frank, (wow, close? Animosity at its finest). You both rock. I wish you the best.

Heniwei, back to me. Like an idea, it dawned on me..you get to test the true measure of your heart's strength when you're in a long distance relationship. It's the hardest sacrifice you can ever have your loving heart be put through. Not being able to touch, hold, embrace, kiss...it sounds morbid, but it's like practicing your heart, and getting it ready when the time comes that you lose someone you love. Ang pangit. Knock on wood. 43,000x.

Really, LDRs are crash test dummies. I agree with myself. Cheers and apir to me! Inspite of this..absence really makes the heart grow fonder. I wouldn't have it any other way..well, I would want us to be physically together.. the correct phrase is, I wouldn't have any other person other than Mr. Pavia. He's worth every bit of patience and s-a-c-r-i-f-i-c-e.

If love is pure, it will endure..says the corny saying.

Hay, you learn alot of things about your strength and yourself (period). Like;

1. You know how mature you are when you're in an LDR. Aba, hindi ka pwedeng mag-isip at tampong bata! No one will be there para amuhin ka. You can pout all you want til you have lips like Angelina Jolie..hey..that's an idea..hehe.

2. Jealousy will get you nowhere. You have to trust with all your heart. Magselos ka man, can you do something about it? A pint of Jealousy is healthy, but not to the point of losing your mind over it. There are so many other better activities to keep you sane. Like- hiphop classes! Sorry, they're having a hiphop dance class in the other room right now, so.. Net-net, selos? You'll learn to laugh it off. If you trust your partner, it will never enter your mind. So, there.

3. Patience. Kung ikaw, nasabihan ka pang walang E.Q. (not the diaper), ewan ko na lang. Some doctors say that the Emotional Quotation of the child is more important than intelligence. Which I believe..sa EQ, walang over achiever or under achiever. Kung EQ under achiever ka, parang masyado ka ng passive. Deadma to the heavens. If EQ over achiever ka, isa kang atat. Or is it the other way around? Whatev!
