If you are in the same situation that I am, or you wonder how it is to be in this situation, I do really want to give you an idea of a few things people forget to mention about long distance relationships.
First things first, people will question you (a lot), they will question your motives, your sanity, they will even try to convince you that it's not worth it, that it's stupid going through this whole distance thing, "why can't you find someone here?", "Yeah... Good luck with that". It's really annoying but you end up getting used to these comments and learn to shut them down.
Just because someone lives far away, doesn't mean they are not the one. Just because someone lives close to you doesn't mean they are the one.
You'll have doubts, you will question your choice, you will question everything, it's not your fault, it's human nature. But you have got to be mentally stronger than those doubts.
Being far from the one you're in love with is one of the hardest things you'll ever do. There are moments when you'll get sad for no actual reason, and you will sit and wonder why. People will tell you to suck it up, "you chose this, you knew what you were getting yourself into". But it's okay to be upset. In the end is also one of the most rewarding things you'll ever do. Plus, you have to be ready to make hard and life decisions all the time!
It's expensive, but fortunately, there are many ways to get around these days. Nothing can compare to the feeling you get when you're with them or see them for the first time after a while.
Most important thing... It's worth it.
