Do you know how bad it is to have a girlfriend who lives in another country, who you believe is the most amazing person you have ever met, who you can only talk to over the phone but, from those conversations, know that this is probably the girl you want to marry? No it is not nice. It is more than that, it is a sort of hell. To actually have ‘met’ that special someone – but you are separated by thousands of kilometers? And then, to not have the money to even buy a plane ticket to go to visit, or to let her come to visit you? But to miss her every day? And to call her every day to talk to her, but that only makes you feel better for the duration of the telephone conversation, because as soon as you put down the phone, you are alone again?
It is a kind of hell, indeed.
