From Afar

Long distance romantic relationships can really bite one in the butt and make it hurt. For T, she opted to stay in Los Angeles when her partner moved to the East Coast for work. But after a few months, it got too hard, so she put in her two week’s notice, made quick arrangements, and moved out to the East Coast.

This ought to have put K in a pickle because T had, until recently, been less an hour’s drive away. Now, a direct flight could bring them together from 5-6 hours. Or, with layovers, longer.

However, T was optimistic and convinced K that everything was possible still through mail. So, with this optimism that she always seemed to have and use, T packaged all the Valentine’s Day merchandise into a box and sent it off to K.

To K’s horror, the information showed that the merch wouldn’t reach until too close to V-day. But, thankfully, it reached within 5 days, as T had been promised by the USPS. And so, mail did seem to be a very good option for them.

Still, it’s difficult for two besties who often visited, chatted, and met up to catch up to be so far apart. However, K’s kitty is T’s self-proclaimed god-daughter. And K has fond of T’s floofs, too. So, they’re also connected through fun cat videos and photos, and stories, too.

Even more than that, K and T text almost daily. Because of the technology available, they are able to shoot of texts and videos that may seem boring to the passing person, but will excite and make T giddy with glee.

So, yes; though distance separates the two buddies, they’re determined to remain close friends! Which is always possible, given the venture they’ve undertaken together.
