I imagine most of us never thought we would be here. I never had an opinion of long distance relationships because I didn't know anyone who had been in one. If you would have told me that I would find myself in one, I would have called you crazy. And yet, here I am, completely in love with someone who's over 4,000 miles away and I haven't even met in person.
I met the man who now holds my heart on Omegle. Surely that alone makes it a miracle, because the site seemed to be over ran by teenagers and perverts. I wasn't looking for anything, to be honest I figured we wouldn't have much in common, with him being in England and myself in the United States (Florida). We exchanged information and starting texting, I figured after a few days we would just go our separate ways. But we continued to text and email, which was our only form of communication for the first couple of months.
The person who was nothing more than a stranger, slowly evolved into a friend. We learned so much about each other, I got to know this person in a way I didn't think would be possible. Eventually I realized I liked him, but thought I was crazy for even thinking anything could come from this because of the distance. Many times I found myself wanting to give up, not because I wanted to - but because, I was afraid. As my feelings continued to grow, I realized I loved him. Cue me spending a few long and emotional weeks trying to figure out how to tell him. I don't take those words lightly, and I cared about him enough to know the last thing I wanted to do is accidentally play with his emotions. When I finally got the courage to tell him, I was delighted to find out he had felt the same way.
It's been six month of constant communication, text messages, emails and skype calls/chats. I truly love him, on a level that I didn't even know was humanly possible. Nothing about this has been easy. At times the waiting, the distance, has been downright painful. So I'm happy that I found a place with others going through the same amazing, crazy, struggle.
