I met her in a dark alley
This is probably the first diary-blog-cathartic posting I have ever made.
Why?
Possibly because I just need to vent some emotional frustration from student-work life.
OK. I meet this girl street projecting. Pretty much a dark alley on a winters night. I’m instantly taken by her eyes. We exchange only glances- she leaves before I could meet her properly.
I track her down over fb via the street projections group. We talk over fb/ msn and go on a few dates. She is awesome. The deadly combo of brains, personality all summed up in a beautiful package. She could be a model. I’m falling for her badly.
The only catch.
Her parents globe trot frequently. The usual you know: summer in the Caymans, Christmas in Denver and soap shopping in the south of France. She’ll disappear for 6 months of the year travelling horizons I only dream to see. And she leaves in November, won’t be back till April/May. That’s a long time for young love- an entire Perth summer with out her… but then again Perth is a boring place.
I’m in a way torn and don’t know what to do. But I can’t bring myself to call it a quits and she doesn’t want to either… either way I think it’s going to be a long hot summer…

Let her go…then you can live at home for the rest of your (angry) adult life resenting everyone around you and blaming everyone for a decision that you made decades before.
Conversely…if you continue to like this girl (and she’s not post-operative) and she continues to like you…and you keep the long-distance thing going, then you’ve got someone who’s going to be travelling the world bringing you back a lot of expensive souvenirs which is always good.

I reckon if you’re totally into her (which you claim you are since you say she’d be perfect except for the travelling thing) you should go for it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being in a long distance relationship, especially if both of you want it.
I can speak from my current experience that if you are really into the other person and vice versa, it’s worth it. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, you know.
ps-What’s street projecting?

@ Devils Advocate: you wouldn’t be referencing our Uncle in the first paragraph would you?
@ Angie: check out the link for street projection on the main blog page. it’s essentially collaborative street art that is virtually projected on the buildings etc…

Oh, right… I’m not smiling at your anguish. I liked those words.

keep her! love (young or otherwise) is worth the wait! (I’m a pretty hopeless romantic sometimes). A friend of mine went off to Europe for four months just four weeks after starting dating her boyfriend and they’re still together 2 years later.
also she sounds lovely.
