Good morning, beautiful

In the interest of being utterly truthful: I woke up at 3am and fell down a rabbit hole. I caught myself thinking "don't get attached because she's leaving" — but honestly? That's rubbish.

I am attached.

So instead of spiraling, I spent the last few hours looking into the logistics of Us. I know it's scary, and I know I have my own anxieties, but I realised I don't want an exit clause.

I want a plan.

I looked up flight paths, the hours where our time zones overlap, and I've even started Swedish lessons (Jag försöker!). I know it's a long way, and I know it'll take work — but I think you're worth the air miles.

I put together a little "battle plan" of what I found. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

I'm not saying it'll be easy. I'm saying I'm willing to try if you are.

The 3-Month Rule

If we aim to see each other every 90 days, the distance becomes chunks we can count down. It's not "forever away" — it's "X weeks until."

How We Stay Close

💕
🇸🇪
Duolingo Grindset
I'm learning Swedish. Badly. But trying.
😴
Sleep Calls
FaceTime while falling asleep. Same room, different continents.
🍿
Teleparty Dates
Synced movies so we laugh at the same jokes together.
💌
Care Packages
Hoodies, letters, snacks. Physical reminders that cross oceans.

What Makes It Work

Based on actual research into what successful long-distance couples do differently.

It's not about being perfect.
It's about showing up, being honest, and having something to count down to.

I know this is a lot. I know it's scary.

But I'd rather be scared with you than comfortable without you.

Yours, always
