Since I started my relationship with my LDR online partner about 2 years ago, I've been on leaning on this page for solidarity and connection with other people in a similar situation as me. It's truly been a great journey being on here reading about everyone's experiences (ups/downs) and also sharing my own.

We met randomly by a Facebook comment on a group and never stopped talking. We talked for a month, met each other for a day and a half, and started our relationship long distance. That went on for a year and a half before we moved in together during the Pandemic. We were a 2-hour flight away from each other and saw each other once a month on average for a weekend.

But what I really want to say here is that he's the best person ever. Since I was little, I had a dream that I was going to become a doctor. My family didn't really support that dream and I had to spend a lot of my life trying to push aggressively hard to show that I can make it by getting exceptional grades and trying to make it into a top undergraduate college to show how serious I've been. One of the hardest parts of this career is getting into medical school, which I've seen people trying and failing to get in the first round. People will try for several rounds which will result in year after year of waiting and lots of costs out of pocket flying to interviews and paying for applications. That's a pretty big and stressful moment of my life, which is why I spent 6 years trying to prepare for the applications. Since I started being with my partner and living with him, he told me that he's going to be with me through all of this. No matter how many times I've fallen/failed, he'll stick with me until I achieve my dreams. I asked him even if it took me 3 tries to get in, what will he do? He said that he'll still be here. I feel very lucky to have him.

Thanks for reading. :)
