Long Distance Relationships

People move on and memories fade away. However, the things we hold in our hearts to be important are determined by our past. How expendable something is to us, is deemed to its relation to our lives in the past. Our friends are valuable not by their mere acquaintance, but by the mutual past that we have journeyed through together. We trust people based on the evidence of the past and not future prospects. Knowing that we, as human beings, do not possess foresight but rather hindsight, we direct our perception of reality toward what we know, but not what we are yet to learn. The problem about constructing our scope of reality from materials of the past is that we are limited by our selected memory and even those memories themselves are not completely accurate. There will be precise truths of the past that we will never be able to ascertain, and what we already know, is deteriorating as the memory grows distant. Therefore, we need to remind one another of the journey we share by continuing to pursue each others' interests. We care for one another with our true compassion as a reminder of the bonds we have created; bonds that are being renewed day by day.

When we choose to not put effort to the cohesion that exists in our relationships, the bonds fade away. The love you share dissipates, relationships break up, and what once was care is now contempt or even worse, indifference. When a friend moves away, if you were a true friend you would still pursue them over the distance. Technology now, has helped us to overcome great divides, except the ones that we create. Real relationships: over time, over space, do not admit defeat in any circumstance. You will find that if the bonds that you share are able to be broken by such, what you have is simply cohabitation. Tolerance of one another. Real friends follow up. In this real world there is much beyond our control, but this is something intangible, immaterial. Relationship - it's something controllable by us.
