"Teach those willing to learn and understand you as much as one can; society is culpable in not providing instruction for all equally and it must answer for the darkness it produces. If the soul is left in the darkness, sins will be committed. The guilty one is not he who commits the sin, but those that cause the darkness."

The Long Distance Relationship

If the relationship is worth saving, I say save it. And the long distance relationship is the only way to do it. Sure, there are a bunch of downfalls and problems that may come up, but if that special someone is that special to you, you can wait.
