i mean im gonna spend as much time as possible with them until the end of summer, but im gonna miss them a lotttt
You can still date outside of all this, LDRs are a thing and are totally okay! And then hopefully when you're both ready and feel comfortable and have the money and such, you'll be able to get a place together, yeah? Have faith!
I get it because I'm in a similar-ish situation?? I recently got a new job working full time at the mall at a kiosk (until I can start doing commissions and online sales of course and then I'm working from home) and they are taxing my time more than my job at the nursing home... which means I'll be seeing Hoover less and less. I'd honestly rather be poor and struggling to get by with him by my side and be happy than have all the money I can get and be alone and miserable.
We were walking to the store the other day when it started raining on our way back to his house, so we dipped under the overpass to keep dry and see if we couldn't get a ride from one of his friends or parents, and I started crying because he had given me flowers along the way, gave me his sweater to keep warm, and kept singing to me and constantly saying "I love you, you're so cute, you're gonna be my spouse one day I promise" and I just felt like I didn't deserve him, and he pulled me into his lap and sang The Descendants "Marriage" to me and said "even if I barely ever see you, I'd still make the time for you. You deserve to be loved and that's what I'm here for; to love you" and we just sat there and I was so happy. I told him "even if we had to live right under here for the rest of our lives because we couldn't afford a place, I'd be happy because I'm with you and that's enough to keep me going" and then HE started crying, and I just?
So yeah, always have faith. There will be obstacles that get in your way. School ending, school starting, new jobs, moving away, different opportunities and such. But heres the moral of my story;
If it's worth the effort, you'll find a way to make it work. It won't be easy, but it'll be good in the end. I promise.
