Being away from loved one, no matter the distance, is considered far. Being so nit-picky and meticulous isn't helping the whole situation.
Ironically, my girl and i were placed in the furthest uni from each other in the Peninsular, i'm in UTM and she's in UMT. A big joke isn't it, one in north the other in south, and UMT and UTM is just reverse of the positions of T and M.
Been keeping it going for 1 year and a half plus now. Still strong. But i must admit there were times when loneliness really torments me.

Communication is vital IMO. But of course it's hard to tell the other half the problem u face.
Trust is important too.
But i felt, some what the distance only made us stronger. Now everytime we meet during holiday, it just feels so special. Can say we tend to appreciate the moments together even more now.
