More from Nylak
My world's gone crazy without you here
I don't wanna go back to where we started from
What do I have to do now, to make you stay?
We could never stay the way we really are
I'm frozen, do you remember how we fell apart?
Time was on our side, but you left me behind
And I don't think I love you anymore...
---
Long distance relationships suck. Been with my partner for almost 6 years now, over 3 of which have been with a hundred miles between us, and it's starting to kill me.
Initials in background are mine and hers. Believe it or not, my first name is not Nylak in real life.
Adobe Photoshop CS1. About 10-12 hours, all done at once. MY EYEZ. X_X

ah, wow. First on the art, this is beautiful
Second on the comment, yes, I SOOO can relate to the long distance thing. I've been stuck in them
and I'm always curious to read how other people deal with them. Or more importantly how do they
turn a long distance relationship into a immediate proximity relationship. How do people convince the
other person to actually move to where they are?

...I have no idea. In my scenario we started out living close, but then I had to move for school. Once I'm out of school, I plan to move even further away for work. I've kind of come to accept that, in the long run, it's probably not going to work out.
Hence my current emo state. XD

Aw. Yeah, I can feel that. I've had 2. The first was 5.5 hours away, but she wanted stay close to her family and ultimately really wasn't into having a serious day to day relationship (after 4.5 years I realized that).
Currently I've hit my head again, falling for someone who's at the opposite end of the country. I don't move (first anyway) because I own a house and have a pretty good job where I am. Chances of both where she lives are not very good.

To answer your question:
My boyfriend and I started out long distance for the first year and a half, but we were friends for 4 years prior and had done the long-distance things with others. Its just a matter of convincing one or the other to bite the bullet, but for good reasons. It worked in he needed a new environment to be in to help get other aspects of his life together, and I had too much obligation where I am as well as no desire to move away (albeit selfish). He took the jump, and here we are after a year of living together just fine. Wedding bells down the road and all that jazz~
Being friends for so long before hand definitely helps, instead of trying to leap for someone you didn't know too much before hand so you know most of their flaws already and how they acted in previous relationships. :c And both of us are very monogamous creatures so, cheating or straying wasn't much of an issue to worry about.
So in short, trust and friendship before hand, and it has to benefit both sides and not just be one sacrificing entirely. Otherwise I imagine bitterness/resentment would happen should things happen to fall apart or they had no other reasons to leave, as had happened in a past relationship of his. (Moved there after much begging, and first week he actually caught them cheating on him and found out they had been unfaithful the whole time apart too.)

That and also just...both of us not being able to handle the distance much longer/really wanting to be close. Even though this was successful I'd never do a long-distance relationship again because its so stressful. Especially now that I'm used to having someone physically close like this and not having sleepless nights alone thinking about someone 1,000 miles away. I loved the romanticism in absence makes the heart grow fonder but, with all the other failed ones my patience was thin with my boyfriend on this one. It was the same with him, so it was a good thing he moved when he had since even though we are good for each other. Had we had to deal with another year or so with distance we probably would've split just of the strain/lack of patience, not cause we didn't love each other. :c
XD You shouldn't. Though I do get kinda pissy at those who go like "omg no we are so far away from each other~ Like totally one hour it's so hard to do this" I just give them my middle finger XD
But I do feel for you. It sucks being apart. First time I met my BF in real life was two years after we had been together. I gathered money for him to come here to Sweden and stay with me for a while :3
Now I will be going to the US to see him this fall ^^
I hope all goes well with you. And I super love the otter I so wanna pet and huggle XD
Really pretty picture ^^

Very good piece. Long distance relationships are certainly hard. If it's meant to be though, it will work out! For 2 years I did a 150mi relationship and we would alternate weekends. One weekend, I would make the drive up there, the next she would make the drive down here and sometimes we would have little bonus days in between. It worked out pretty well and finally about 9 months ago, after proposing, I moved up here(I REALLY didn't want to leave my last place, but I knew it had to be done), and 3 weeks ago we had a big wedding on the beach down in Florida. My whole point in spewing all that at ya is to hopefully help illustrate that it really can work out.
beautiful work!
also i know the feeling of longing for someone so far away. sadly my last two ex girlfriends decided the distance was too much and just tossed me aside without even considering how i felt.....
I wish you so much more luck however. with the amount of time you have put into your relationship, it will definitely go better than mine did

clearly visible that you dumped all your sadness and loneliness into it, and that's what made it beautiful.
i really like the image.
now for the "feelings" part.
it really sucks that some fool invented distance, i hope it'll turn out alright for you.
just hang in there and think about the positive things!
keep your head up, and think about all the happy moments you two have been in!
hang in there, Nylak
xae.

I know how you feel. I've been with my boy for six years and we grew up together, living only 10 minutes apart. Then he moved for school and I moved for school, so there was a state/10 hour drive between us, and then he moved BACK so we're just a 4 hour drive apart, but it still sucks. I hope for the best for you.
Beautiful, and a deceptively simple-looking image, but all the details - the wall, shadows, lighting, shirt - are just perfect.
Long distance relationships... well personally I am okay with them, but it could be because I am an introvert to an extreme and am mostly happier alone (or in the company of animals). But I'm sorry that it's so tough on you.

This piece is amazing. Captures all the emotion perfectly.
I know how hard long distance relationships can be; there was a period of 9 months or so where me and my partner were living over 2000 miles apart and only saw him twice. I hope you feel better and get to see her soon.

Aw man I can relate.
I was in california, and he was in NZ. :/
We never got to be together in the same country while together.. Now he lives around the corner from me.. and Were both with other people. Sucked at the time.. but A close relationship is such a breath of fresh air after a few years of long distance.
Also this is beautiful. love how you did the fur :)

This is one of my favorite paintings on FA, I have no idea why I haven't fav'd or commented on it before now.
Not only is this an absolutely beautiful painting, but it also holds special meaning to me in terms of symbolism. My boyfriend and I were in a long distance relationship for about 3 years, before I eventually moved in with him (about 5,000 miles). I've been living with him now for a year, and the time has really flown by. Our initials are also J and A.
Above all things, I hope your relationship eventually works out, and that the two of you will eventually find a way to be together.
