five days and counting

i apologize for my absence on this here blog, but

you know, it just isn't fair - 

you meet someone new, open your heart, believe in love, fall for someone,

and then something bad happens. 

why must it be this way? 

i have been so incredibly lucky and happy these past few months with tom, 

and now it is time to say goodbye (well technically, in five days). 

he received an incredible job opportunity in florida, 

one that he cannot pass up.

so he is packing up and leaving next week.

i know i should be excited for him and supportive of his move (and i am),

but right now, all i can think about is him leaving me behind.

this is a selfish way of thinking - i realize. 

did you know florida and seattle are ridiculously far away? yuck. 

we are going to stay together and have faith in our long distance relationship.

saying my prayers that i have the strength to make things work.

any recommendations on long distance love? how did you make it work?

i have tried it before and not had the best of luck. 

i am definitely open to trying it again with him, however! 

xoxo.
