2022… wow. I’m not even going to be cheesy and ask “Can you believe it”?! Because I would bet that you can’t. I think the one thing that we can all agree on is that these past two years have been a whirlwind and a roller coaster of emotions. I don’t necessarily mean that in a bad way either. Although there have certainly been what seems like an extraordinary amount of uncertainty and fear, some of the best things have also come out of 2020 and 2021 and I don’t want to breeze past those either.
Let me be real with you… long distance sucks. In fact, it is by far, if not the most, difficult thing I have ever gone through. Now, before that sounds too dramatic, let me acknowledge that there are much, much worse things to go through and I feel blessed that this is what I’ve been dealt. That being said, when you truly find someone you love more than anything in this world, and you can’t always be with them on holidays, to celebrate promotions, to kiss them before work, to hug after a tough day, to talk to in person, to make dinner with, or even to go grocery shopping with… it is undesirable at best, and miserable at worst.
