Well, as it says, this is my first blog entry here, and to be honest, I'm not sure what to write. But I guess I can kick things off with how I ended up on LFAD:

It's a warm summer evening in Acient Greece, and... oh wait, that's Big Bang Theory. However, I do recall that it was evening, but it was certainly not warm, as we're in Autumn right now. I'd been having a pretty hard time the past couple of days, as a few days before I joined I'd returned from a week long camping trip. I had an amazing time on the trip, but coming back home gave me a BIG reality check and I wasn't really prepared for it. I literally felt like I was living two lives with my SO overseas and was struggling to feel that things were real. We hadn't had much chance to talk since I returned from my camping trip, so that only compounded things, so I ended up searching google for a long-distance relationship forum, and hence, I found this place.

I have to say, that since joining, I've had a fair few laughs, and it's been nice to receive support, and be able to give support to other people here on the forums. We're all in the same boat here, no matter the distance, number of visits, or time spent apart from each other. Distance is distance. In a way I wish I'd found this place sooner, but at the same time, I feel like it's come into my life right when I really needed it (though it would've been handy in August last year too )

Anyway, thanks so much for an enjoyable first few days, this place really is helping.
