Long Distance Meets Real Life


So I have discovered the awful thing that makes long distance relationships suck. To be clear, I am talking about actual, good relationships and not the ridiculous I-cheat-on-you-you-cheat-on-me-I-like-Kegs relationships. I am referring to the relationships that are most definitely going somewhere.
Now this may be frustrating because I have no advice or helpful words to give besides for the simple fact that there is nothing anyone can do about it. You see, the thing that makes long distance relationships terribly painful at moments are the things that we simply cannot control. Stupid stuff that just happens and gets in the way like money or work or school, things that probably everyone hates just as much as they need them.
I guess it helps to vent on silly things like this because these stupid, uncontrollable things are frustrating and awful. Sometimes the only emotion humanly possible during this crap is anger. And what makes it even worse is that its anger with no specific direction. Its anger at the universe for letting such stupid stupid stuff come up and ruin a day or a weekend or a month.
Don't get me wrong, these little bumps in the road are not or shouldn't be the kind of things that make or break a relationship. They happen to everyone and we all have to deal with them in our own way. I am in no way afraid for or unhappy with my relationship even when these things come up, its just hard, and it sucks and I am so angry and I don't know what do with it. My advice to myself is to get up and get out of the house we will see tomorrow if that proves helpful.
