Or when you want to go out on the town together.

When all your friends live far away, the loneliness can be hard to handle sometimes.

Its a strange feeling because you know youre loved.

You know youre lucky to have people who care about you.

But it sucks that you rarely get to see them, unless its over a video call.

It sucks that youre destined to spend most of your weekends alone.

When all your friends live far away, you never feel like you have enough time with them.

Your vacations with them are always too short.

However, as much as it hurts to be apart from them again, youre glad you have them.

Youre glad youve met people who are worth your long-distance friendships.
