Haven't written a blog post in the longest time, even my last post was mostly just photos!
But today is special. It marks one year since Dre and I decided to figure out things together. So, I'd like to write down my feelings and reminisce with some photos to celebrate this little milestone.
Getting into a relationship just few months ahead of my move to Sydney, I knew that I would hear remarks about 'why enter a relationship if you're moving away' 'LDR (again)'. Dre is also a few years younger than me, so another thing out of the relationship norm. Which is why one of our songs together is Taylor Swift's 'Run' i.e. running away from the law hihi.
And run
Like you'd run from the law
Darling, let's run
Run from it all
We can go where our eyes can take us
Go where no one else is
Nevertheless, the heart wants what it truly wants. We took the leap of faith and so the journey starts :)
Knowing we had limited time to be together before my move, we were intentional in spending quality time ahead of the move. And when I got an extension to stay longer in Malaysia, it was a blessing-in-disguise as we got to spend the whole of Easter triduum together.

We definitely have our challenges going through LDR together. Especially with daylight savings, the 3-hour difference makes it more difficult to find a common window to catch up. Distance forces us to communicate better, be more patient, understand one another and to be intentional about spending time.
Not easy, but God gives us graces to go through it all. Thank you for leading us in prayer most of the time sayang, I don't do that very well but you are always persistent, and I can't be more grateful ❤️

We both know this year won't be easy, as we will not get to see each other much. But have faith and let's keep figuring out the rest of the journey together ♡♡ Be strong, hold on tight and I got your back always. All my love for you.
10 love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. - Romans 12:10 NRSV
To any friends and family reading, please keep us in your prayers :)
