So I'm writing this column for the next issue of my school's paper and it's going to be about long distance relationships, specifically mine. Hah. It's weird. It's not like I don't know what to say. I have an endless of experiences and thoughts and emotion to share, but it's so hard to find the accurate way to say it.
I don't want to sound like a silly, love stricken, mushy girl because then anything I have to say will be ignored and I'll be labeled as someone insubstantial and unrealistic. I also don't want to be too spare in my writing because I don't want anyone to think my relationship is a piece of unfeeling industrial machinery either.
I find that writing something personal is the hardest thing anyone can ever do. Communicating exactly what you feel to someone entirely different from you, is amazingly hard. I want to do it though, and even if I have to go through a dozen failed attempts and edits, I'll do it!
I both love and despise column writing.
The process is frustrating, but the end result is...delightful. :p
I love you. Yes I dooo.
