“I'm lonely. And I'm lonely in some horribly deep way and for a flash of an instant, I can see just how lonely, and how deep this feeling runs. And it scares the shit out of me to be this lonely because it seems catastrophic.”
― Augusten Burroughs, Dry
In the recent week, I have returned to college. What that means for me is that I leave my significant other behind in my hometown. This city that I speak of is only two hours away and some would argue (although I don't know why) that I am not in a long distance relationship or an LDR. The truth is the frequency in which we see each other is comparable to some people living in different states. I have also recently discovered that I am feeling the effects of this long distance. I am feeling lonely, isolated, misunderstood, and a little bit abandoned, even though I am the one who left.
I know that there are other people out there is similar situations, so I'm asking for your help. I feel like I'm all alone but I know that I'm not. How do you deal with it? How do you go about your daily lives and not retreat back into bed and cry? Please comment below.
