...-=It's Beautiful.... BUT!=-...

A guy who we'll call Geek H has given me a link before of this couple who met on the internet image sharing site Flickr. They're both very talented and artistic photographers who are continents apart, one being in England and the other in America. It's a beautiful story... finding someone special and falling in-love with that person. BUT... it's long distance. I sort of don't agree with that. I mean, no matter what other people say, long distance relationships aren't really very ideal. Been there, done that. It would be a different story if the couple met each other in the same place/area/state and the other one leaves after being together for a couple or a few months. There is already a bond that was made, it would be easier to hang on to it. But if you haven't even met the person and fell in love with them... then it's beautiful. BUT, what foundation will they have to hang on to, stand upon when things are a bit shaky. Like when you feel like cuddling someone, holding someone, touching someone, kissing someone... how do you fix that when you havent even done that with the person who you're in-love with? You have no basis... you are holding on to someone who isn't really there. Oh yes, he is on the internet... but what about those cold nights... or even a day at the beach? You see couples lying right next to each other.. they have someone to ask for to rub sun screen on their backs... Have someone to actually laugh with whilst being "outside" the house. The idea of having someone is to have them with you - not just on your mind or the internet or somewhere in cyberspace, but actually physically with you. You dont have to see each other everyday. But the reason as to why they have to be together is so they can grow together as a couple... I and You becomes "WE or US".

Mind boggling... Tough huh?! I know... Like I've said, been there and done that! Beautiful, sometimes too nice, you woud think that it's ideal... but just think... how do you know that the person is real? How do you know that the feelings are real? When you have nothing to refer back to.....

Beautiful.... I know..... but not ideal.
