The dreaded LDR is difficult enough as it is, but there’s always someone to pinch your cheek and utter the words, “Well you know what they say – absence makes the heart grow fonder” when you need a pick-me-up.
Really? I think it makes the heart tired and prone to emotional outbursts, but whatever you say.
On the other hand, there are some long-distance loves you don’t need to stress about. The ones that just – work. Yep, I’m talking about your faraway friends and how your relationship continues to flourish regardless of the location/time zone/existential crisis you find yourself in.
