14 reasons why long distance relationships aren't as bad as they seem

Long distance relationships can be transformed into long term ones with just a little patience and hope. They can be really cool and managing them well, will say a lot about your perseverance. They can be successful and magical if you look at them with the glasses of optimism. So, read more to know the 14 reasons why long distance relationships are fun and amazing.

Strong emotional bond:

As you can’t meet your partner often, emotions put into words, are your greatest tools to feeling connected. Expressing and sharing your feelings makes the bond very strong.

Social circle remains intact:

Your friendships are not compromised due to the relationship. You get sufficient time to hangout with your friends, without having to choose between them and your partner

Time for individual growth:

You get ample time for yourself and your work. You are able to focus better too.

Focus on the long term:

A long distance relationship tends to slow things down and helps in taking the relationship forward gradually. Also, as you can’t take things for granted at all in a long distance relationship it tests the commitment level of you and your partner. If your relationship is going good then it means both the people are committed to doing their bit.

Turns out to be the best learning experience:

You learn to sacrifice (Example: Your comfort, when you travel all the way to another city/country/continent to meet your beloved one), become more patient and understand that you both have to work to make it work. Through a long distance relationship you learn a lot about yourself. Your time management and planning improves and you also learn to express clearly and adjust your expectations.

Every meeting is special:

Quality of your meetings is often outstanding as you try to fit in most of what you want to do in that short time period. Gifts and surprises are cherished more. Creating memories becomes an important part of the meeting and you try to capture everything in your little camera because that’s all you’ll have later. Indulging in even the routine activities is fun when you do them with your partner.

Creative communication:

Addition of new channels of communication makes everything more interesting and the traditional handwritten letters/postcards never go out of fashion. Also, long distance dates make the relationship very exciting.

More meaningful interactions:

The different experiences that you two have, add value to your life. You learn to choose your battles wisely and are able to weigh the importance of the relationship over the problems, more effectively.

You appreciate and acknowledge your partner’s efforts a little more:

As your partner has to go out of the way to do something special for you or to meet you, you start valuing his/her efforts even more.

Explore travel opportunities:

You get to travel every time you go and meet him/her. Planning trips together can make it even more interesting.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder:

It also makes your trust grow exponentially. You look forward to meeting him/her and learn to keep faith in yourself, your partner and your relationship.

You don’t have to be presentable all the time:

You can be a mess sometimes and no one would mind that.

You can master being independent and in a relationship:

You become majorly self-reliant and learn to strike a balance between being independent and interdependent.

Having an amazing story:

Wouldn’t you feel great when finally your long distance relationship turns into a long term relationship that’s going to last forever?
