I met a girl from Kansas… literally a whirlwind from me. Her name was Christy Dawn.

my sister and her husband were 600 miles apart when found each other thru work and been together since 1995

ive always had long distance transition to irl within a couple months.

i maintained some for years that never really came to fruition in the end. no regrets really on them. i learned some lessons and in the end remained friends with a few.

so he was married and i presume is still married?

I’ve never been in an LDR. If I’m going to get emotionally close enough to someone for them to ruin my life, I want them within slapping distance in case they do.

There are connections that couldn’t transition to real life for some reason, LDR or not. It’s not easy to heal and move on from the grief of losing that, but I hope that you would always remember those years are very very significant in your life.

All mine fizzled out when we realized that we couldn’t be together irl and ldr are so futile. I repeated this several times for periods of months in the EP days.

One in Louisiana went off to church and didn’t ever log in again. I still wonder what was in that sermon.

The door is closed, the room is still,
and time asks room to work its skill.
It hurts to watch the story end,
to lose a lover, lose a friend.
Yet deep inside your quiet chest,
a wild force will not let you rest;
the self that bloomed before they came
is whole and bright and still the same.
You are not broken, only freed
to scatter light upon a seed.
So let the tears come as they must—
then rise up gently from the dust
