(JOY) IT has been five months since Hosea and his friends went back to the Philippines. My father and Adriana were surprised when I told them that I am still in contact with Hosea. My co-workers were also amazed that I was able to handle a long distance relationship for five months. They said they cannot do it. They said that the more you like someone, the more you want to be physically intimate with that person. A long distance relationship hinders that and it gets frustrating and suffocating. That was why most long distance couples break up eventually. I understand that. I thought that if Hosea and I can get through the distance for the first three months, that it will be easier eventually. I was wrong. The more time passes and the more my feelings for him grew strong
