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
