kbh Posted March 5, 2010 Posted March 5, 2010 Hey everyone, So here's a little of my history... I've been "dating" this guy that I met while traveling in the summer. He's from Portugal and I'm from California. I was there for 2 weeks during the holidays, and he was just here for two weeks... My problem (other than we live 5,000 miles away from each other) is that I always feel like I'm waiting and wanting. I have a countdown all the time until I can see him again and I'm always looking at the future, never for today. Everything I do, its like I'm just waiting for time to pass until I can see him again. Even though he just left I'm already feeling that my life has lost a huge chunk, and that I've already started counting down again. I know a lot of people say that you need to keep busy and distract yourself but whenever I go out, it's always how much better it would be with him, or how much I wish he was there with me. The present doesn't seem to matter to me because he's not here. I feel like I'm just living, but not living living. I'm just waiting for the future all the time. Does anyone else feel like they are living in the future? If so, anything that's helped you focus on the present and make it more meaningful? Kelly

I'm going through it right now. The only thing I can do is just live life, find things I find funny and see every day like an adventure. If you know what I mean. Do crazy stuff with your friends. Laugh at everything. Be random. At least that's what I do. I do get a little down sometimes, waiting can be really annoying. But then, you must know, if it's meant to happen, it will happen. ^^ Good Luck
