遠距離恋愛は正直慣れていた

私の海外志向と、日本に収まらない価値観を持つ人と合う為か、真剣な交際は気付けばいつも遠距離恋愛だった

 

お互いの大変な時に、1番身近な相手が遠くにいる悔しさ、虚しさや空っぽさは今までも経験があった

今回もそれを繰り返して関係を作っていくんだと思ってた

そんな時、病気になった

 

I was used to long-distance relationships

Perhaps it was because my values and interests were a lot of the times outside of Japan, I preferred people with similar values. Most serious relationships I had, I was in a long-distance relationship before I knew it

 

 I had already experienced the frustration and emptiness of being far away when the person closest to me was struggling, or I was the one who was struggling

 

 I thought this time was the same - that we would go through this, as we strengthened our relationship

Then I got sick
