As the title very blatantly states, I'm in a long distance relationship with my boyfriend of six and half months. Stop right there, I'll say it for you. Y'all are so young! It's not worth it! You're not going to have the full college experience! Shut up. These are all things I heard from this 21 year old girl as I was sitting outside my friends' residence hall just talking and meeting new people. The girl, Baltimore, cause she's from Maryland, heard me mention that I didn't want to be the lame one and skip a frat party to skype my boyfriend, but that's probably what I was going to end up doing. She, very condescendingly, said "Oh! You're in a long distance relationship? Tell me about him!" So I told the story of how we ended up dating and everything and then she went on a whole rant about how last semester she spent the whole time in a long distance relationship, with a guy from fucking D.C.!, not a guy five hours away like C. And she just had tunnel vision and she always wanted to break up but he would always convince her to stay with him. Well bitch, I'm 99% sure I'm going to marry this kid. So back the fuck off. She then said "You've only been together six and half months and you think you're going to spend the rest of your life with him??!?!" Yes. This whole thing went on for about fifteen minutes, with my friend A.G agreeing with her and this girl I just met A.R backing me up, she's nice. I like her. So now I'm in even less of a mood to go to some frat party where I'm going to be judged on what I'm wearing if I can get in to hang out with a bunch of douche bags because some girl, who kept saying "You're young, you're young." bitch is three fucking years older than I am, decides to shit all over my relationship. Yes, I am an idealistic person. I think I can save Africa. But what I do in my free time and who I decide to be with, is nobody else's fucking business. Basically what I think it comes down to is people throw rocks at things that shine because they're so unhappy with their pathetic lives to be genuinely happy for someone who just might have found the love of their lives at the age of 18. I'm not judging her for being a 21 year old sophomore, don't judge me and act all holier than thou because you had one shitty experience with an over controlling guy who lives like, 22 hours away (I admit, I google mapped how far D.C was from where I am.) So, ladies and gentlemen, if you every happen to run into someone who's in a long distance relationship, whatever your opinion is, especially if it's a negative one, they've heard before and sure as shit don't need to hear it again. Just wish them the best and hope that it works out for them. Because we need a whole lot more love in the world, so why would you tell someone that their's isn't real or strong enough or going to last? It literally has zero affect on you what so ever.
still seething, taylor
