Sometimes distance is measured in kilometers, sometimes distance is not a matter of body distance, but of souls, I can be close and feel you away, I can touch you and, despite this, feel that you are not by my side. Distance is an enemy of any relationship, which creates bridges that are increasingly difficult to cross and, above all, deprives you of the will to cross them, we are creating these bridges, so we have the same responsibility to build them as to demolish them. .
It’s not about seeing each other every day, it’s not about needing constant contact to be around, it’s about connection and complicity to create the magic of not having to be around to feel united, the feeling that’s a consequence of this, but that can sometimes also be the cause, is home upset. But do we really miss the person?
- “I miss you and I miss you it doesn’t fit in my chest.
- Does your absence pass through my body and every corner of the house has its smell?.
- – Alexander Separza-.
Losing memories is feeling nostalgic for a part of the way we say, a part that is now part of us in our minds, but that people are missing is wanting to stay and not let this journey end, so when we miss someone, we struggle to stay with them.
Relationships miles away make it difficult to interact, whether loving, friendly or family, so it is necessary to make an extra effort to shorten the path and bring souls together. The will and passion that come after a period without seeing each other. They can be points in favor, making the most of every second they are together will help build more bonds and strengthen the union.
Staying away and having only the opportunity to speak, without physical contact, is a challenge to communication and intimacy in relationships, as evidenced by the study of researcher Crystal Jiang of the University of Hong Kong and Professor Jeffrey Hancock of Cornell University. , In the United States, so working in remote relationships is everyone’s task (which does not mean that the people involved have to do it separately) , an effort must be made so that even if time passes, when the two meet, they feel that they have stayed together every day, perhaps not physically, but mentally.
It is becoming increasingly normal to meet separate couples, families who have had to move or friends who no longer live in the same city. Leaving distance to exert strength and give in and lose contact is not one of the options to consider.
Communication will need to be improved, taking advantage of all the opportunities we have to shorten kilometers, such as video calls, immediate message conversations, etc. Technology is advancing in leaps and bounds and can become an excellent ally to feel close even when we’re away.
Trust in others will give us the opportunity to remain serene in the face of adversity, and it will be a great place to know how to expect and appreciate what we have. The desire to embrace the other after a while, to idealize and to want to stay with the person, as it is nice to feel the evil of the country in your absence, are things that we sometimes lose in the day to day and by which distance can open our eyes.
“Don’t forget to take care of her if tomorrow, instead of seeing her, you can only imagine her. -Gabriel García Márquez-
Let us take advantage of time and proximity and work to bring souls closer every day when distance is the protagonist of our feelings. In addition, it is important to try to set an expiration date for this distance, because we always live better with a specific expectation.
