    Just when you least expect it...

    Hello everyone.

    One June afternoon I was reading some article on the Internet, and apparently an online penpal website I used from time to time was on in one of my tabs. It started flashing and I reflexively clicked on it - but little did I know that it would change my life for good. A comment, a long series of private messages in a very short time, exchanging email ID's... I found myself chatting constantly with my soon-to-be SO in no time. And something deeper, something special grew out of that casual talk. The rest is history. He changed me absolutely and completely. Gave my life meaning and an ultimate purpose. And, now, here we are, together for over a year and going strong despite my very unsupportive and discouraging parents, and financial odds. We could not yet meet each other in person for obvious reasons, but we know for sure that we were meant to be. For the time being we live 1,392 miles apart - a 17 and 19 year old couple - building our future, hand in hand.

    Well, that's our story in a nutshell.

    I have been lurking on LFAD for quite a while now, and I wanted to thank everyone for their lovely stories, advice and musings. I am sure that many people, as well as me, have had a tough time in their LDR's (and oddly enough, not mainly because of the distance...) and needed someone that can actually understand them. I must say LFAD is an incredibly wonderful community with incredibly open minded and supportive people.

    Thank you very much and wish you all the best of luck!

            Welcome!!! And I understand completely what your dealing with. Me and my SO were unable to meet in person until two years after we started our relationship for similar reasons.

                    Sanney4709: Thank you, Savana! Frankly, I was down in the dumps for a while now after a bunch of failing meeting plans, but now that I’ve embraced the fact that we need to wait for this to happen we can finally focus on focusing on the positive aspects of our situation. It’s definitely worth the wait. I am very glad to hear that you eventually got to meet your SO and wish you a great time and future with him. (Your profile picture is really cute, by the way.)

                    Eclaire: Haha that was random but sweet! Unfortunately, as much as I love cats I don’t... can’t have any because my mother is intensely repelled by the idea of having any pets in a flat. However, my SO is a true cat lover, which led to a sort of an inside joke between the two of us, hence the picture of a cat holding a panda. I would love to have a cat in the future when we’ve moved in together. How do you like your cat’s company?

                    Tooki: Tere, tere. How nice – both partners of wonderful Estonians. Except I happen to be the girl in the relationship and my guy the Estonian haha. Thank you though and good luck to yourself!

                    TwoThree: Hello there, and thank you very much. We truly wish the same. It seems my name is more common than I once thought... The awkward moment when your new biology teacher from England tells you that her grandmother is called Zeynep. It’s a nice coincidence though. Wish you the best of luck!

                      Well I imagine it's a rather common name. Or at least it used to be here. It's because Muslims love to honour the relatives of Muhammad, and one of his daughters was named like that.

                        . How do you like your cat’s company?
                        Oh gosh, I became a crazy cat lady in my teenage years. I've had my cat since I was 7, so I'm a bit biased because we've bonded incredibly and he honestly has the personality of a dog (seriously, he wants to be cuddled practically ALL the time). My sister's cat is more "cat-like," though, and I love him too. I will say that I don't feel they're as independent as everyone says. They do like their cuddles. They do like to be smushed. They do like being on the receiving end of love and affection, and giving it too! But they aren't needy/demanding of it in the same way that dogs are. xD But they are seriously wonderful, have immense amount of personality, and are quite easy to care for, as far as pets go. I absolutely adore mine and will probably always have cats in my life, so in answer to your question, my cat's company is probably my favourite company of all pets (though I love them all equally for their own reasons! Well, my cat is probably my favourite, but he's also the one I've had the longest and am connected to at what I feel is a soul level, so I'm allowed).
