How To Make A Long Distance Relationship Work
Critics say the long-distance relationship is doomed. Heartache inevitable. Dreams decimated.

You know the answer.
Even when you deny you don’t.
Tune in.
Listen up.
Your heart + gut want to educate you on limitations, expectations + salutations.
When to go harder.
When it’s been enough.

Thank you for you. When I had you.
Good luck.
Adieu.
And love pulses along in spite of it all.
