			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You know when you&#8217;re reading something you totally agree with and you get this uplifting feeling? That happened to me when I read the above proverb! <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  The way I interpret it may be different from others but I think it means: &#8220;<em>No distance is too far if you&#8217;re in love.</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>About a month ago I arrived home from a three month trip to Australia. I had traveled over there to meet Daniel, my one and only (as mentioned in my last blog post). We had met online nine months prior when he sent me a friend request on Myspace. <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  We started talking through comments and, just a few days later, we were chatting hours upon hours on Windows Live Messenger! It was, and still is, amazing that I could talk to him the <strong>whole</strong> day without getting bored or having an awkward pause in the conversation. I have never been able to do that with anyone else!</p>
<p>When we first started talking, Neither of us were expecting more than just a friendship. He was looking for a girlfriend, but trying to find someone in his area. Oh, and I must add this!!, he started looking right after his ex broke up with him&#8230; <em><strong>REBOUND! </strong></em>xD LOL! I was concerned and told him he didn&#8217;t &#8220;need&#8221; another girlfriend, he just wanted one. As for me, I had been &#8220;involved&#8221;, emotionally at least, with a friend and was still trying to figure myself out. I just wasn&#8217;t looking for anyone&#8230; I didn&#8217;t have the feeling that I <strong>needed</strong> to be with someone. But of course, as the days went by, and we started learning more about each other, we started getting closer and closer! I think it took me a little over a month to realize how I felt about him! &lt;3 <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I knew by then I would love to meet him one day and I told him so <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> . I had no idea I would be on an airplane flying across the world 8 months after that, though <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> <span id="more-19"></span></p>
<p>Flying to Australia to meet the guy I am in love with was an awesome experience! I will admit, I was very nervous about the whole thing. After hearing stories about the young women who are found dead after such a trip, it would make sense, right? <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  But it all ended very well! The time we spent together was magical!! After spending time with him I knew that if everything works out in life, I could end up spending the rest of it with him <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> ! It&#8217;s a wonderful feeling to have!  I love him with every part of me. It&#8217;s so hard to express how much he means to me but I know, since we practically share a brain xD, that he feels the exact same way!</p>
<p>Being in a long distance relationship isn&#8217;t easy. I miss him everyday. I miss his kisses. I miss being next to him. I miss seeing his smile, hearing his giggle, everything. I believe we can get through this, though. Being able to talk to him everyday helps a lot. Knowing that we&#8217;re both working towards the same thing really helps too <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> . Daniel and I are very lucky people! We have met our soul mates <img src='http://ciera.name/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  Our other half &lt;3 I love you Daniel!</p>
