Love has no boundaries and because it often occur to someone that lives in one country could easily fall in love with someone that lives in a different country. And you would ask: will a long distance relationship work?

Geography can be a great hindrance which lovers have to overcome. There's no doubts that it is easier to develop a relationship with someone that lives next door. You'll be able to ask that person out and enjoy some quality time together to see if you both are compatible. The relationship is rather different if that person lives in a further country, or worse yet, on a different continent.

Long distance relationship can be extremely powerful and at the same time emotional. Most likely you keep in touch with each other by way of writing a love letter, emails or simply talking on the telephone. This way you'll be able to think about the way you imagine the person you're in love with is or the things they think about you. It’s likely that you might be making things up in your thoughts by just misinterpreting the other person's words. At some point, in case you move in together there is a chance that this individual with whom you have been in a long distance relationship with, could possibly turn out to be a completely different person, the opposite of what you have imagined them to be. It could be very disappointing.

Even so, if you are both willing enough to make the long distance relationship work, in that case it's going to work. It will take a lot of trust, devotion, communication, love and commitment. It also will depend on the chance of the distance being eventually overcomed. Sooner or later one among you should leave their friends, family and job just to cut that distance away and it is a huge step that needs to be done to make the relationship work.

It is important to remember that absolutely no quality relationship is easy. All are hard work in their own way. However, in case you have found a person of your dreams, even if that person lives on a different continent, could the distance really be an obstacle for you? You decide.

The greatest sorrow, the deepest pain, the biggest misery and the most worrisome day of life is just a sorrow, a pain, a misery and a day in life that comes and goes without staying for long. Aside from little happiness, these are the elements that constitute most part of our lives. We human can't spend our whole life by just sticking to one sorrow or happiness. Change in joys and change even in sorrows, that's what we always want in life intentionally or unintentionally.

However, we have a nature that is always more prone to sorrows and which has somewhat neglecting attitude towards joys and happiness of life. You may have observed whenever people have to undergo some heartbreak or other sorrow, they usually take considerably longer time to recover and for some people it becomes quite difficult to recover from this sorrow. They become the victim of some disease and sometimes lose their lives. They treat sorrows as their bosom buddy and don't miss any opportunity to be with them, especially at some joyful moments of their lives. Their bosom buddies (sorrows) always bring a present for such occasion called the tears of happiness.

Why it is so? Why people don't remember the joyful moments of their lives when they pass through some sorrow or painful condition in their lives? I never saw someone laughing in painful and tragic condition of his/her life, and if someone laughs in such conditions, it means s/he has driven out of mind and can't be reckoned a normal person anymore. If tears in happiness can appear, why not laughter in pain? Perhaps, it's because of our sorrow-friendly nature.

Good and bad days come in everyone's life, but these days have wings and soon disappear in the mist of time. Time has been created to be passed and the people, who are well aware of this fact, know well how to cope with sorrows, pains and difficulties of life.
