Well it's now over 8-months since we saw each other in person and still no trip booked.

I'll openly admit at times it can be tough, I feel like I've forgotten what he smells and feels like and I miss all the little things like him kissing my forehead and sex.....oh sex I miss so much (yes I'm shallow but honest!).

HOWEVER, we're probably closer than we've ever been mentally. We still talk everyday, he makes me feel so happy and special and more importantly he's by far my best friend in the entire world. Despite the distance and long gap between a visit I really don't feel like our relationship is suffering. In the tough alone times all I have to do is realise that I'd much rather be with him so far away than not at all.

I know we'll see each other at some point, we love each other too much to never see each other again just money, visas and an ocean are currently in the way.

In other news....I've become really involved in the Green Party and am now a local party officer and will be standing for local council elections in the Spring. Very exciting times as I feel I've found my other passion in life.

Medically I'm better than ever too, the medication regime seems to be finally stable and that has given me my life back in so many ways.

All good, despite the distance at the moment
