First steps

we got Skype, which should be helpful in the scheme of things…
i’m already experiencing some cracks in the dam i’ve got up against the flood of tears and hurt and sadness and missing that i’m expecting..
long-distance relationships are doable… if the people matter and the relationship matters, then of course they’re worthwhile.. but understanding all the pieces of it does not make it terribly much easier. plus we’re young and emotional; i’m tres emotional. and he’s actually pretty sensitive too…
i hope he finds this easier, though; being the one going out and being away in a new environment with lots of distractions.. i know he’ll miss me, but at least he won’t be the one left at home, with usual routines and everything familiar and what was shared between us.. it’s my turn for all that.
time will pass; we’ll both be okay, and we’ll be together.
