Long Distance.

So why is it that this long distance thing with Ellen is fairly easy for me.

Well we never made it official. Ellen and I are together but not making it official saves us from the jealousy that typically occurs during long distance relationships. I will admit I can be a jealous guy at times, and this was probably for the best.

Personally I put up with wall for my own safety. I try not to get too attached to the other person. I have found that letting your guard down typically hurts you really bad when a break up does occur. Would I continue having this "wall" up after a year or so in a relationship? Probably not. I'm sure by then it would fall on it's own. When I do put my guard down though, is when I start really liking that person.

This may sound a bit mean, but we don't get in each others way. We follow our daily routine, squeezing in each others text messages in between down time. I'm sure you know what I'm trying to say.

I trust her.

I really want to see how we make this work. Ellen and I are a good match I think. Sure we have many differences, but I think we could learn a lot from each other.

We have been upfront with each other.

We have found different ways of communicating.

1. We text message back and forth everyday; which is nice because we can respond to each other as we find the time. We have busy schedules right now and it works out well.
2. We call each other every now and then. It's kind of hard to find time when both of us are doing nothing. But when we do talk, our conversations can last for quite a bit of time.
3. SKYPE! Skype is awesome because we can see each other. The down side we have noticed is that we tend to stare more than we do talk. It's really distracting when we are trying to talk. My mind typically goes blank when I see her, and I smile A LOT.
4. We write letters. We have sent quite a bit of letters to each other. The thing we love most about them is how personal they are. You may thing we run out of stuff to talk about... but we don't. Our minds are always brainstorming up questions, and topics. We tend to save the more personal questions and topics for the letters.
   

I really can't think of other reasons right now...
