I saw that post in this thread: http://members.lovingfromadistance.com/showthread.php?22538-I-miss-my-SO-today-because______ so I think I may try to write in this blog a little as events and things unfold and use it as my journal. Maybe this will be a better outlet for me than the forums for now because I feel like a lot of what I will be writing I am sure is just the same thing everyone goes through or just over reaction and I'm sure most people are tired of reading that kind of stuff.

So, my name is Justin. I'm 33 and male. My SO and I aren't sure exactly when we first decided that we should be together but for some reasons we went with January 23, 2015. So as of writing this still fairly new and this is my first LDR. I live in the USA and she lives in the Philippines. We met through a website where she had randomly messaged me just to chat and we started talking and before we knew it here we are. There are a lot of difficulties that present themselves with us. Some common, some maybe not as common. I don't want to reveal a lot about her personal life here because I don't know if she would want that. But she is not in the best situation right now which presents many problems and also her net is slow and unstable often which makes digital forms of communication hard or impossible at times and that gets very frustrating. I am just, for lack of a better description, not myself with so much love I feel right now. I hope that makes at least a little sense.

Well I guess that's as good as of an introduction as any.
