Being in a long distance relationship can be tough at times, but there are plenty of ways to make it work. One of the biggest challenges is finding ways to stay connected and close to your partner when you’re apart.

There are lots of little things you can do to stay connected, like sending each other photos and videos, staying in touch via text or email, or even scheduling regular Skype dates. It’s also important to find ways to make your time apart more bearable, like keeping busy with your own hobbies and activities, or making plans for future trips to visit each other.

Long distance relationships definitely require some extra effort, but if you’re willing to put in the work, it can be totally worth it!

Hi, I’m Jess! I closed the distance with my boyfriend on October 12th 2019. I lived in Los Angeles and he lived in New York. Sometimes it feels like we’re still getting used to being together, but it’s been really nice to have someone to come home to at the end of the every day.
