Long distance relationships = no fun
My boyfriend lives in Pennsylvania and (obviously) I live here in Sacramento. To say the least...distance sucks! I have come to terms with the distance and know here shortly that distance won't be an issue. Every day since I started this challenge I have realized how much I miss out on without having the ability to observe his body language. Many times, he doesn't get my jokes (because they can sometimes be lame) due to the fact that he can't see my expressions.
Many times this is frustrating because so much of who I am is revealed through my body language. It's a challenge in itself to figure out way to communicate that lack of body language. I always knew how important body language was but because of this challenge, I realize how essential it is.
We have found ways to overcome this. I add smily faces to text, make sure my tone comes across as a playful tone and many times say "that was supposed to be funny".
