Once again, I've spent a week with my on again/off again "girlfriend". We've spent the past year and half trying to maintain a long-distance relationship, trying to stay in touch as friends, and kicking up quasi-romances when she comes into town to visit her family. Although we've discussed our feelings, and we both understand that, currently, it seems like we're victims of circumstance, we still share a very strong connection and we were confident that we were just a matter of time. Unfortunately, this week, I dropped the bomb that I'm moving on to a new state and a new life, that I'm unhappy where I'm at and she's the only thing I have to look forward to and that's years away. She also shared the news that she's being considered for art residencies throughout the states and even abroad, and that she may get a scholarship to finish her masters which would allow her to teach. After our discussions, we came to the realization that this may never work out. It was very difficult for the both of us, but its now just dawning on me that we may never see each other again.
