Our LDR story is an unexpected yet romantic one.
I've been a big fan of The Walking Dead since it started airing in '10, and later last year signed on to a forum to talk about it and get my nerd on a little bit. After a few weeks on there, I received a message from another one of the members talking to me about a particularly obnoxious fellow poster and how to ignore him. This member and I had started commenting back and forth not long before that, so it was nice to get the message.
That message was the beginning of the rest of my life.
Within a day and a half, we were emailing each other, a few days phone-calling, a week and a half Skyping, and a month to the day, we'd closed the 2,500 mile distance and were in each other's arms. The second I saw him, I felt like I'd seen him a thousand times before, and being in his arms was familiar in a way that nothing else had been. We spent 5 wonderful days together, and even brought our origins full circle by visiting places our favourite show was filmed at. I'd never felt more complete than when I was right next to him. And that feeling has only grown ever since.
We started out under very non-traditional circumstances and despite some efforts on both our parts to not fall into it, coming together was inevitable. We just collided. We'll be closing our distance for good in September.
Last Friday, J proposed. I said yes

, and that it also set in motion a chain of events that woke me up from a long, dark sleep.
