Several months ago I had a discussion with someone about what it means to go the distance for love. What is really going to the distance? What does that mean? What is the distance? Is it different for each person? How can one say another did not in fact go the distance for love or even for a friendship? My "distance" is different from the "distance" of someone else. No one can know what the distance is except for you.
Is someone who isn't willing to enter a long distance relationship not going the distance for love? Is someone who isn't willing to give up the dream of a family not going the distance? Really who decides what the distance truly is between two people? If it's love then the distance is anything and is as big as the sky is possible. And if there is a "distance" for love...is there a distance for friendship? Can a person not go the distance for the sake of friendship?
If a person forsakes the friendship for one reason or another is that not going the distance for that friendship? If one person enters a relationship and the other writes them off, how is that going the distance? If a friendship means as much as each person said wouldn't they want to the other to be happy and rather have the friendship rather than nothing at all? Or am I just odd because I would push my feelings aside to see my friends as happy as they can be.
Wouldn't any normal person want their friends to be happy even if it ends up that another person makes them happy? What makes a person willing and able to end a friendship as if it meant nothing at all?
