    The last relationship I had was 1,185.9km (1,171mi) away and we were together for four and a half years. I mean, yeah, the commute at the start was a day’s endeavor and had to be a whole weekend trip or nada, but you make it work or you don’t.

    You’re really gonna pass up quite possibly your whole future like that based on a ride that wouldn’t even take me out of my state? That used to just be my standard drive to college, one-way? For less than the distance it would take me, living in a coastal area, to reach the ocean, you will die alone

      I have tree fiddy in my bank account and gas is $4.50 a gallon. Yes the fuck I’m gonna pass that up.

    This is the story of my life… Just drove 2 hours both ways to spend the night with someone I thought could have really gone somewhere. Next day they are texting as normal then just ghost. Like damn.

    I matched with a woman who lived three hours away once. I was like “look, you’re a delight, but there’s enough people in both our cities we don’t have to drive this much”

    I like to travel, so this is a +

    Sometimes I travel pointlessly. I just love sitting in a train or bus for longer times.
    My school is 18km from home, which I find too little. I’ve found a way to stretch it out to 140km over the span of 5-6 hours instead of just 20-30 minutes. Pretty cool, right? And the added cost is only €0.94.
