all I will add is, I did long distance across 9500km and a 14 hour flight for 2 years and a decade later we are still with each other. so can it work, yes? can it work at 18 and during uni? now that one I don't have an answer to lol!
College is such a crazy time, truly. Whether you move halfway around the world or stay in the same place, it’s an experience like no other. And as you say, it’ll be challenging no matter what.
Is there any way to know whether you’re making the right decision or not? Not right now. Maybe in 5 years time.
That being said, I don’t believe love can conquer all unfortunately. When you’re 18 and in love for the first time, it might seem so. Once you gain a bit more life experience, you realize love can only do so much.
I wish this person lots of luck and happiness and thank you for sharing your opinion in such a gentle way 🫶🏼
Maybe it's love for yourself, through all that we go through as humans, that conquers all then?
Young love is complicated, and I have one narrow and uncommon experience of it, so I can't pretend to have answers for anyone else on that front -- but I think cultivating and coming back to loving and honoring myself has gotten me through.
What do you think, Karin? I always love your thoughtful comments!
oh gosh no it’s a life long commitment and choice too, even more so than romantic love. I’m actually in the process of writing a guide on becoming one with yourself and the steps as I’ve seen an experienced them in the hopes that it can help others!

sooo dependent on so many things and the players involved right?! but as I say, here we are living despite it all ❤️

I definitely think you’re right about that! Self love can conquer all. I can sure attest to that. But it ain’t easy getting to that point 😅
