Questions Game!

We got tagged by aneonaway – thanks, you guys!!  

1.Why did you choose your url?

Cat: It really just seemed like the most natural title for us. This blog is about two people in love (hearts) who live on opposite sides of the Atlantic (across the pond). So there it is, haha! I’m just lucky the URL wasn’t taken! 

2. What’s your middle name?

Cat: Rosa, after my maternal grandma 

Richard: Leslie

3. If you could own a fairy tale/fictional pet what would it be?

Cat: Hands down, Hedwig.

Richard: A lion-sized domestic cat. 

4. Favorite Color? 

Cat: Purple

Richard: Blue

5. Favorite song?

Cat: I don’t have a favorite song! I can’t have a favorite song because I love too many artists from too many different genres and eras. 

Richard: November Rain – Guns n Roses 

6. What are your top 3 fandoms?

Cat: Harry Potter, Hunger Games, and Breaking Bad 

Richard: Umm, don’t know if these have fandoms so I’m just gonna guess here: South Park, Family Guy, and American Dad 

7. Why do you enjoy Tumblr?

Cat: I love to see what people post because 9/10, it moves me in such a positive way. In particular to the LDR community, I definitely feel the love and support, knowing that I’m not the only one in a LDR. 

Richard: It’s such a good community and you get to interact with tons of people.

Random Thought

Today there are couples around the world that are meeting for the first time, visiting each other, or closing the distance for good.
Here’s to you guys.
We don’t know your names.
We don’t know your faces.
But to be reunited with your great love is an incomparable moment, and we are happy for all of you.
Cheers!

A love letter to the LDR Community

Dear LDR Community,

My boyfriend and I have only just recently started our LDR blog – literally a few days ago – but in those very few days, I’ve been privileged to see so many beautiful, strong, loving couples fight the distance for their loves.

What strikes me the most about this community is that, unlike so many other forces in this world these days, this community has founded itself on the purest, deepest feeling of them all: love. And that love they have for someone else hundreds or thousands of miles away breeds so many incredible things:

immeasurable strength to get through lonely days and nights;

incredible empathy for others who are fighting the same tough fight;

intense joy for those who are on the brink of closing the distance for a few days or for good;

and infinitely growing hearts that have the capacity not only to love their soulmates but complete strangers who are brave enough to reach out to members of this community for support.

I go through countless LDR tags on Tumblr, and I know this much is true:

This community is one of the strongest, bravest, most loving communities I have ever come across on here.

Here’s to you, LDR community. Thank you for your love and your support. Know that you will find a safe haven on this blog for your heart, whatever condition it’s in, whatever color of the rainbow it is. Richard and I are here for you in the same way we feel you are there for us.

Love,

Cat
