Hey. I've posted around the boards but have yet to make a formal introduction. (Please bear with me, I suck at these things).
My name is Alexa (I go by Lexi) and I'm 22 years old.
I moved from Baltimore, Md (<3) to a little town about 45 minutes from Chicago, Il. (</3).
My dad had to relocate because of his job, and I was forced to uproot with my parents since I don't have the funds to support myself... and, I honestly hate it here. I live in a rich, snobby town, so there's really no one my age around. My dad is kind of an inconsiderate jerk and my mom is kind of a lazy pushover, so I don't get much support from either one of them... so, in short, I've been really lonely and alienated... and I'm someone who strives on social connections.
I've been with Scott (who's 22 and living in Baltimore) since April, but we've been in a LDR since August. I'm so in love with him, it's crazy. Before I met him, I was a bit "wild" and I really had no intention of settling down with anyone anytime soon. But after a couple of weeks talking to him, I completely changed my mind. I fell, and I fell fast for him! So, when we found out I had to move, breaking up wasn't even an option. We both have tried LDR in the past and failed (obviously) but this time we're older, and know what we want. We're not about to let something so amazing go because of a couple hundred miles.
It hasn't been as horrible as I expected, we're still so happy and talk everyday through phone calls, texts, Skype, Facebook and Xbox. But I miss actually being with him physically... and I'm trying my best to make it back home to him. We're planning on moving in together when I get back, and I just hope we can stick it out for the next 6 months-year. at this point, I have no doubts.
I'm SO glad I came across this site. We've already done some of the things on the list and I'm saving a couple ideas for when/if things start to get boring. It's so nice to have other people to talk to who know what I'm going through.
so that's me.
