choosing a mate

after last class i really reflected on my own relationship with my boyfriend are realized we have a lot of good things going for us. Even though we both really like being around each other, we going to school 2,000 miles away from each other. It takes a lot of commitment and trust to be happy in a long distance relationship but we are both very happy. we constantly support each other in new experiences. we really try not to hold each other back too. we have a lot in common as well as our differences but embrace both. i think its really great to find all these positive things but i realize from my own experiences they not only take a lot of work but a lot of desire and wanting from each party as well. I think its also important to remember how ever that we have to sacrifice a lot to keep a relationship going. there will always be hard times sometime ahead. thats why function matter so much
