LD? possible?

I was taught that it is almost impossible to have a long - distance relationship. i was a strong believer of that teaching. I am too guilty of giving advices to friends about the above mentioned topic.

"You would not know the 'true' him/her...."
"You will have too many differences..."
"It is too hard to have a relationship like that..."

That was the very reason that i hesitated the idea of being together with my Bf, despite the constant attention and love that he never failed to bestow on me.

However, i now believe that long distance relationship is very much POSSIBLE!
I would like to share these reasons:

Firstly, with the advances in technology, its now easier to keep in touch with your loved one. the internet for example, its a cheaper, convinient way to communicate with each other.

Secondly, with globalisation, travelling is very much uncomplicated at this present age. its possible to see your bf/gf in matter of hours. Not months, nor days anymore.

and

Most importantly, relationship is based on TRUST. you learn to believe in each other when you are a part. what is relationship if you continously being suspicious of each other. At the end of the day, you will learn to appreciate each other more when you are together. :)

I am not saying that I suggest everyone to do the same...
I still do envy those couple who can spend everyday with each other... i still do hug my pillow pretending its my boyfriend to sleep...etc....

Well... It is certainly NOT the best way..
BUT... it is possible.

What do you think?
