I suppose a first post should be a sort of personal introduction; but the internet allows for so many guises, you probably wouldn't believe me anyway. More realistically though, who cares who I am? I'll bypass the meaningless etiquette and do us both a favour.
Straight into the dilema of the moment, then. My other half: who I'll call Beloved since he does needs a code name, and that sounds endearing: is on the brink of being employed permanently in the land of Far Far Away. I'll call it Far Far Away because it may be just that, but could still be anywhere. Naturally, this predicament mercilessly thrusts our long term romance into the clutches of the Long Distance Relationship: the beast which rips apart so many sweet couplings. Quite frankly, I'm petrified. Here's why - in the land of Far Far Away there lives many princesses, none of whom need 'rescued' because they've all established sucessful careers already. Its surely filled with admirable, charismatic and beautiful people who have so much to offer the world and the people they live beside. In the land of Far Far Away, paradoxically, no-one is quite so far away from each other - unlike those of us who don't live there. So, while Beloved is discovering a new life and new friends over there, I'll be stuck here wondering if he'll remember why he's with me and if our love will endure. Its just awfully impractical.
Ok, that'll be all for today - nice and short. Eventually I'll tell you all about Beloved and me - an ongoing saga. Are there meant to be such major obstacles to overcome when going through the Right of Passsage that is student-to- employe- and- grown up? Here's hoping my relationship goes the distance and survives the employment hurdles.
