Distance

What is it with distance and love? I received word that my brother has been very sick for the past few days. I find myself filled with anxiety and affection for him, more than I think I ever felt while I was at home!

I badly miss my friends from IIT. Yet I dare not call them up, for fear it will make me feel worse later. And what's more, I feel guilty that I spent more time with my books or computer games than I did with them in those days. Time that will never come back.

I guess I will never think about time and distance in the same way I used to, and Einstein be damned.

What??? You are supposed to call all your friends on a regular basis. And, speaking to friends makes you feel better.

Distance, my friend, has a two-pronged effect. I makes you grow stronger and more fond at the same time, stronger in your determination to fulfil your aspirations and more fond of all the people who've played a positive role in you being where you are.

This too will pass and Einstein, well, he knows how to redeem himself I bet.

Distance and Love?
Hehe. let me enlighten u people with something i found with help of my best friend online mr.google.I entered "love and distance" I found few love quotes on long distance. Here are my favorite ones.

"I wish that you were here or that I were there, or that we were together anywhere!" (profound eh?)

"We are the perfect couple, we're just not in the perfect situation." (hehe, how true!)

"When it rains it reminds me of you. Although 2000 miles away is so far I still always walk outside in the rain and kiss it just for you. It never fails me. The rain will always come and I'll always love you. Next time you see a storm on the horizon please don't fear it's just heaven doing me the favor of taking you my kiss. Walk outside and kiss the rain whenever you need me." (and maybe get hit by lightning? Oh someone missed someone terribly in the US.. that explains Hurrican Katrina)
