Don and I met when we were doing our Master degree in Curtin University, Perth. At the time, we got to know each other as “classmates”. I was in a long-term relationship and he was pursuing another classmate of ours.
Towards the end of my last semester, we found ourselves single and decided to give Don+Kay a try. Of course, there was a catch, in 4 weeks time, he was heading off for a 7-week road trip across America and I was heading back to Kuala Lumpur, my hometown. We didn’t know when we would be in the same country next, but you can’t stop loving someone just because they’re not in the same country. We decided to make the distance work.
I often talk about how sucky it is to be in a long distance relationship. In light of keeping things optimistic and looking at the silver lining in my long distance relationship, I found a few things that have made me a better person because of my long distance relationship.
