The Beginning of a Transatlantic Love Story
We met, as many couples do, on a dating app. Not the most romantic of beginnings, but not unusual by today’s modern standards. What started as a causal connection soon blossomed into a deep, personal bond. Our time together since has been nothing short of magical, but it’s also posed an inevitable question: could we make our relationship work while living continents apart? This was the question I believe we were both asking ourselves, but never truly speaking the words.
For me, and I believe for Lawence as well, the answer was a resounding yes. We decided to embark on this adventure, viewing the distance not as a barrier but as a unique aspect of our relationship.
Our Meeting In Paris:
After planning our initial meeting, I believe it’s fair to say we were both consumed with a mixture of excitement and anxiety. There was apprehension that something could go wrong; the fear of rejection or a conflict of interest. Neither of which ever presented itself, but instead an amazing vacation awaited the both of us realizing that we had connected in an incredible way. That connection was made even stronger by the bond that was created on that trip. Spiritually, I truly believe I’ve met my soulmate; my intellectual equal and the love of my life. The level of commitment we’ve made could not be stronger; and some days I still marvel at the distance we covered in our year and a half’s journey.
Celebrating the Positives of Long-Distance Love
Communication Mastery:
Building Strong Foundations: Lawrence and I believe that the core of any successful relationship is communication. Being apart has forced us to hone our skills in this area, leading to deep, meaningful conversations. We make it a point to talk every day, sharing the mundane and the significant, making sure that we are an integral part of each other's lives.
Embracing Technology: Video calls, voice messages, and texting have become our lifelines. We’ve become experts at finding creative ways to stay connected, often sending each other video tours of our day to day experiences, Praying together and even Starting a joint venture: The No Limits Project.
Appreciating Quality Over Quantity:
Making Every Moment Count: When we do get the chance to be together, Lawrence and I make the most of it. Our reunions, whether in Paris, New York, or a new destination, are filled with excitement and adventure. Each visit is meticulously planned, ensuring we create unforgettable memories.
Building Anticipation: The anticipation of seeing each other again adds a thrilling dimension to our relationship. The countdown to our next meeting keeps our love fresh and vibrant: Mexico here we come!!!
Fostering Independence:
Personal Growth: Both Lawrence and I have found that being in a long-distance relationship allows us to grow individually while still being committed to each other. We pursue our own interests and careers, bringing new experiences and perspectives into the relationship.
Strengthening Trust: Trust is paramount in any relationship, but it’s especially crucial in a long-distance one. We have developed a deep trust in each other, knowing that our love is strong enough to withstand the physical distance.
Creating a Shared Vision:
Planning for the Future: Lawrence and I are constantly discussing our future together. Whether it’s talking about our dream home, future travels, or career goals, having a shared vision keeps us motivated and aligned.
Mutual Support: Despite the distance, we are each other’s biggest supporters. We celebrate each other’s successes and provide comfort during tough times, proving that emotional support transcends physical presence.
