LONG DISTANCE

Long distance is hard. This is not a new concept for me. Six years ago I started university in a city 260 miles away from home, leaving my friends and family behind. I then did my year abroad at a university a further 1,340 miles away. I then graduated and started a job 2,500 miles away. I have friends and family miles and miles and miles away and it's hard. However, when you say the phrase 'long distance', what comes to mind is a long distance romantic relationship. And now I'm in one of those too. Currently a 262 mile distance apart. It's like I'm a glutton for punishment or something.
