You made a very good point there, that time and money can set people apart... if you let it. What I wrote might've given you a wrong impression about me and my boyfriend. We don't come from rich families or anything like that. We are just two regular working people. And believe me, it's not easy keeping this long distance relationship. I received my phone bills from last month and I almost had a heart attack. We're now trying to find different ways to call each other without spending almost half of our salary to it. He learned about this computer program where he can dial New York for only 0.15 cents/minute. I received an e-mail from someone who read my message and informed me of this long distance carrier that pays 0.20 cents/minute call to Sweden. Here it is: I've also been looking at courier flights so I can travel as frequently as possible at discounted fares. We realize the financial burden that comes with this relationship, and that is partly the reason why we decided that one of us has to move soon. We know that for this relationship to succeed, it requires both our full attention and both our willingness for it to work. We're aware of all the sacrifices that have to be made. But with all the perseverance and determination, we know that it can work. I believe that if you really want something that badly, you make the time... the money will come in some way, somehow. A real and true love is such a great thing to waste!
