The importance of face time.

[FadedSunrise]

I'm also a bit of an addict. It makes no sense in normal terms to need to see him that often, but I feel this like...videos are my only compensation since there is lack of in person ness. However, sometimes seeing him on cam gives me the opposite feeling, and just makes me resist my situation and long for his actual presence. A big part of the way we initially bonded is our love of sports-he works as a trainer, I'm an enthusiast. We loved things like going on runs together-I finally had a running partner! That's not possible online D:

I can get behind that. Ray's convinced that I never frown because when we're doing a video chat I'm grinning ear-to-ear. Seeing his face makes me deliriously happy that I physically can't frown. :P We also do voice chat whenever we're online. Last week he had a lot of family things to do, so we weren't able to voice chat. Even though we were able to txt and type, we still missed each other terribly. Now that we can voice chat again it makes me much happier to actually hear his voice.

I agree with the whole cience explanation. I study psychology and it is proven that when you see a certain person you love or like a part of your brain activates.! I want to mantain that part of my brain sprr active lol!
I think that seeing the person you love does make you feel better but besides that it compensates for the fact that you are not having that fisical contact. Also i consider that facetime and skype is fine but gets boring once you do same thing again and again. Spicying things up during the video call helps alot. Dont just make it another boring video call. When i go shopping try to model the clothes for him and ask for opinion or do my hair or anything new and exciting in my life i show him so he can be in on everything even if its just a change in my room. It just makes me feel like he is actually there with me it feel like we arent distant.'
I also take a bunch of pictures of new places i go to.. beutiful beaches i go to or even if its just the sunset from my beautiful island PR. Also taking pictures of me blowing him kisses cute things i know he likes. Everytime i see something that reminds me of him or some good memory i also txt him a picture of it so that he can see im always thinking about him and he can think of the goodtimes we had while being fisically together.
In conclusion visual is always something important on longdistance relationship.
