Long distance
So this is how it happened: I got a call on Monday, July 22nd. I got my dream job! I'm thrilled and ecstatic. About an hour later, as I'm driving to the airport to pick David up from an interview, I get a text. He says: they offered me the job already, while I was still flying home.
We're going to become long distance lovers. I knew this would happen.
I keep expecting to have some kind of breakdown or explosion of feelings or to just stop functioning or something but none of that has happened. I'm handling this so well that it confuses me. There's no alternative - I'm not giving up getting my foot in the door of a career path I desperately want, and neither is he.
This is hopefully only temporary, for a few years at most. It's a seven hour drive, so we should be able to see each other with a decent amount of frequency.
I just hope that I'm strong enough for this - that I don't get too lonely, that I can return to living by myself and going out by myself and being okay by myself. I'm going to miss him something fierce.
There's a lot to think about. I just wanted to mark this life milestone.
