Simply put, life is better with a companion. We learn to adapt to changes by constantly interacting with an ever-changing personality. You're supposed to be able to say "I have no hesitation or regret in meeting you" and mean it. The silences are comfortable and we are flexible about our different points of view. Rather than feeling envious, I rejoice in my friends' good fortune. You are always honest because you know that honesty can sting for a moment while a lie can sting your entire relationship. In this world, there are people who will take you for granted and lie to them, but there will always be one person you can always count on. This whole long distance relationship can be difficult and we have to do what we have to do, but that doesn't change the situation..
