As you all know, I and Mariana live in different countries. We met in 2012 because that’s when we were classmates. At first, we weren’t that close but one year and a half later our friendships started to grow a lot. Unfortunately, in 2016, our lives took different paths but that didn’t stop our friendship to continue. In fact, it is stronger than ever! Here is what we do to make our friendship last forever:
1- Speak regularly: Nowadays, it is really easy to keep in contact with friends or loved ones that are living far away from us thanks to technology. We normally talk every day on our Messenger chat and we also try to do video calls on Skype at least once a week, normally on Fridays. If we have free time, we do video calls more often. During those video calls, we normally lose track of the time. In fact, sometimes we talk until 2 am and our record is until 3 am. A few weeks ago, Mariana even slept while we were talking on Skype hahahaha.
2- Be there in the good and bad moments: We also try to support and encourage each other by saying that everything will be okay in the future. We all have bad days but we need to carry on in order to enjoy the good ones.
3- Respect: We normally share the same opinions on different subjects (that’s why we are soulmates). However, when we do have different opinions and viewpoints we explain our ideas without judging each other and most importantly we always try to respect each other. Everyone has the right to have an opinion and to express it even if it is different from yours.
4- We talk about different stuff: We can talk about anything. Honestly, we always have conversation topics whether it is to talk about what happened during the day, share memes or anything funny that we see on the internet and then laugh for hours, talk about things that we have seen/read on the news or stuff that does not make any sense to other people but it makes sense to us. I think you can pretty much realise that we are weird and wild when we are together.
In conclusion, if someone important to you will be living far away from you for a long time because of uni or any other reason, that doesn’t mean that it will be the end of your relationship. If you both really want to keep in touch there is no valid reason for that not to happen. It just takes commitment for things to work out because distance doesn't really matter when you really like or care about someone. Also, when you are financially stable you can always visit your friends.

We hope you have a lovely day! (:

ReplyDeleteYou will for sure have a friendship as strong as ours just don't lose hope. Long distance should not be a barrier.(:
