Do you think real love can last throughout any distance, or will long distance end most relationships? 
Submitted by Miss Joy.

I am personally not a fan of long distance relationships, but there are some issues to think about.

1. Did the relationship start off long distance?
2. Do the people in the relationship ever get to see each other face to face?
3. Is the relationship long distance indefinitely or is there an end in sight?
4. How mature are the people in the relationship?

I would never start a relationship that I knew would be long distance, however, if I were in a relationship and it became long distance due to some legit circumstance, I may consider continuing the relationship. Would I be in a relationship where I never got to see the other person? Probably not. I think being together is what relationships are all about- relating- and I think this needs to be done in person, really. Is there an end in sight, that is- are the people going to be reunited in a year or two? I would not be in a relationship where there were no plans to be near each other permanently in the near future. I think long distance relationships can work if the people are mature. I would not choose one for myself, by any means. I'd rather live my life and maybe get back with the person when we live in the same town again.

It is cold, and I don't like it. All my classrooms are freezing but my workplace is a sweltering desert of doom. It makes life annoying. Plus, I usually run around a lot at work and I'm pretty sweaty by the end of every day. It's great. Jenna is having surgery so I'm a bus rider again. Sometimes I think it'd be convenient to have a parking pass but I don't really want to have to drive every day. It's just a pain. Things are going well.
