To all those people who say they miss their significant other, and you haven’t seen them for a few hours or maybe a day or two, and are going to see them later either when getting home from work or school or meeting up with them later in the evening or the week. Please stop telling me how much you miss them.
I know people who aren’t able to see the ones they love for long periods of time, because of their job or something similar. I’m one of these people, the one person I love quite a bit is far away, a 14 hour drive, and I won’t be able to see them until thanksgiving and only then for a few days before I have to return. Sure I get to speak with my lovely Austin every evening but I miss him so much. It is one thing talking with them and it’s another being able to be around them. The last time I saw my love was back in August, and I do know when I get to see him next.
Sure it is hard being in a long distance relationship, especially if before it was a long distance relationship you spent every available moment with them, after work and on weekends before they left. Not having them close is so hard, no one to go to when you are sad, no one to give you hugs or ask how was your day after a long day. No one to cuddle up to when it’s cold and to watch a movie or just to sit and say nothing, just enjoying each others company in silence.
So stop, just stop and think about what you are saying. Sure you do miss them, but I don’t want to think about it because every single day I miss Austin more than you will know unless you experience something similar to it. Others, well mostly me, don’t want to hear it or see it posted, because I can be doing the same thing every single day that goes by when I haven’t seen him. I know if I did that every single day people would get annoyed with it, and most of the time simply not even care.
So keep your “I miss you” posts and whatnot to yourself. The entire world doesn’t care and it’s not like they can make you feel better either, that being said only a few close friends might sincerely care about it. Better yet just let the one you love know how much you miss them, and I bet they probably miss you just as much. Letting them know just shows how much you really care about them, how important they are to you and how much it sucks that they aren’t around.
And always tell them how much you love them, they love hearing that too.
