Long distance love is difficult, but there are still beautiful relationships.

Long distance relationships are becoming more and more familiar to today's youth. But when you do everything alone, and even if you miss someone, you can only see them through the phone screen, sometimes you have to reassure yourself that you have faith in your other half.

Some people say long distance love is difficult, but in reality there are still many couples who still have beautiful love even though they are in two different places. Love can be far apart but not far away, that problem can only be solved when both people work together to build it.

Love in a special way

Having known each other since the end of grade 12, Van Trinh (21 years old, Hue City) was busy preparing for her high school graduation exam while her lover was a second-year student. So up to now, the two have been in a long-distance relationship for more than four years, overcoming a distance of more than 900km.

The relationship started when a guy accidentally left a message in a story Van Trinh shared on Facebook. Then the two texted back and forth every day, until a few months later when the boyfriend went to Hue for summer vacation, the two had the chance to meet for the first time. This friend also took the opportunity to help Trinh review for exams.

She never thought of a long-distance relationship even though they both wanted a chance to get to know each other. Then one sunset afternoon on Tam Giang lagoon, Van Trinh received a confession and the long-distance love journey began from there.

Every Valentine's season, her boyfriend gives Trinh many surprises. On the first Valentine's Day, Trinh remembers that it was pouring rain in Hue, but her heart was warm when she received a letter and a box of chocolates that her lover had personally chosen and sent to Hue. That love card made Trinh's feeling of sadness disappear.

Trinh said she still kept that letter carefully and every time she read it, she still felt the same emotions as she did more than three years ago. "He didn't use flowery words but was so sincere. Each word was like a promise, as if a lover was whispering in my ear, making me feel incredibly warm in the days of a long-distance relationship," Trinh smiled.

Because it's been a long time since my lover went to Hue, during the recent Tet holiday, the two of them decided to celebrate Valentine's Day early together with a "food tour" around the city. The two of them walked on the ironwood bridge, watched the sunset in Hue at dusk, looked back on past moments together and shared things that they had never expressed through the phone screen.

"Even though I didn't celebrate Valentine's Day on the right day, it was still a complete and memorable day for me," Trinh said.

Distance is not necessarily a long way

After more than a year and a half of long-distance relationships, Dien Thi (22 years old, Hue City) believes that the distance has become the motivation for both of them to cherish each other more. Although her boyfriend is in the US, half a world away, Thi and her lover still try to spend time together every day.

This Valentine's Day, Thi shared that the two of them had an online dinner date, ordered food on the table, then video called to eat and chat together. They both wrote handwritten letters and gave each other surprise gifts to commemorate their second long-distance relationship. "We also have a commemorative album and will review the moments we spent together," Thi said.

Not being able to be together on Valentine's Day is a bit sad, but for Thi, the most important thing is that both of them still look to each other, give each other priority in meaningful moments, to know that one person always has the other in their heart. It's true that long-distance love is not easy at all, but if both of them try, there will be no distance too great.

"We have many differences and sometimes have disagreements. But we always try to understand and change for each other. Whenever we encounter difficulties, we seriously find ways to solve the problem, do not avoid it, especially think about the existing relationship, so we create a peaceful space every time we think about each other," Thi said.

Because there will be no relationship without conflicts, no matter how strong. The story is how both of them overcome the obstacles they encounter and how they work hard to be able to go the long way together on the journey of love.

"Trust, for me, can be called the "key" to long-distance love. It is trusting the other person and believing in yourself. If the trust is big enough and both parties make an effort, no matter how far the distance is, love can still blossom and last over time," Thi expressed.

First Valentine not together

Nguyen Hoang Minh Nhat (22 years old), living in the US, shared that he has been in a long-distance relationship for nearly a year and this year will be his first Valentine's Day. Although he is far away, Minh Nhat has prepared a surprise gift for his girlfriend, which is also the first memorable milestone of their long-distance relationship.

They met by chance after Minh Nhat posted his feelings on his girlfriend's Facebook, texted each other back and forth and fell in love without realizing it. For Minh Nhat, the change from being together all the time to only being able to see each other through the phone screen was not easy, so the two always encouraged each other every day.

"I believe meeting him is special. We always text and call each other, not to control but to make each other feel secure about each other because even though we are far apart, our hearts are not far apart and we know that we are always thinking of each other," Minh Nhat shared.

Want to challenge yourself in long distance relationship

At the beginning, Van Trinh also received quite a lot of advice from friends about whether to have a long-distance relationship or not. But she still wanted to challenge herself when she accepted the confession. Not only the words, feelings or promises, but the important thing is that both of them are doing it together.

Long-distance relationships help Trinh and her partner appreciate every opportunity to be together. At those times, both express their thoughts and feelings to each other in the most straightforward way because long-distance relationships are always a challenging journey.

"Whenever we don't understand each other, we try to stay calm and talk to each other, finding ways to resolve the issue so as not to hurt each other. Thanks to that, we are more in tune with each other, so distance is not too big of a problem for either of us," Trinh shared.
