A little true love story from the editor today – because this mood board is all about long-distance love, I thought I’d put my personal two cents in due to the fact that I have some personal experience with long-distance love.

Long-distance relationships CAN work – in fact they can thrive! They get such a bad reputation when the truth of the matter is they often make you trust more, love stronger and appreciate the little things. I met someone three months before I moved 465 miles away from them. In those three months I smiled, laughed and fell in love more than ever before. Moving day came and it was hard and sad and everything you would think it would be, but we made it through. Thousands of hours on the phone, hundreds of cards and letters and more than a few dozen plane rides back and forth from Chicago to Pittsburgh and we made it through two and a half years of long distance. Today we’re happily married and we look at the years we spent apart as the time that built the foundation of our relationship. So don’t worry – if it’s meant to be, it will be. Staying connected through distance is easier than ever and don’t forget that love conquers all!
