The distance is far, the love is close

"Long Distance Love" follows the line of American romantic comedies without any suspense. Fortunately, the plot is romantic but not bloody, and the reality is not cruel.
Love is born after a one night stand.
Justin was a standard "love incompetent" before meeting Drew, who liked someone but couldn't give it all.
Drew, on the other hand, met Justin while dragging his wounded body and mind from the journey of love.
It was these two people, who also held the attitude of playing the world, but in a flash, they met the right person and encountered love.

After a six-week internship in New York, Drew had to return to San Francisco. Problems began to appear, and the relationship between two people separated by phone calls, videos, and very few meetings began to crack and become difficult.
Realistic predicament, inner loneliness, suspicion of each other... just like "time bombs" on the way they must pass, making this seemingly perfect relationship so vulnerable.

The reality is far more than that.
In the face of love and reality, or love and career, there are a few who can make a decisive decision, unless love is not enough.
Give it to me to choose. Five years ago, maybe I would choose love. It is more important to love someone regardless of one's life than to own the whole world. Now I don't dare to choose. Love is hard to come by. When I meet it, I learn to treat it kindly. If I miss it, I bless the other party. Career is opportunity and hard work, and it is accumulated step by step.

Faced with the difficult reality, when Drew decided to go all out again, to give up his hard-won job as a newspaper reporter and to go back to New York as a waiter, Justin hesitated after rejoicing. This woman who once gave up everything for love but suffered heavy losses will once again embark on the same road of no return. Justin was afraid. He was afraid that he could not bear the unequal feelings that one party made a huge sacrifice. More importantly, he I began to gradually understand that love is not just about mutual affection. Love after romance and passion will eventually return to a plain life. At that time, how will the lifeline of this relationship be extended?

Seeing this, I think of some lovers who used to vow eachother and finally became separated until they were separated. It's not that they don't love, they're not persistent, they're not selfish, it's just that "you" is not by "me"...the joys and sorrows of "me" Without the timely sharing of "you", the expression of "you" love is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. When it comes to "me", I just hang up the phone and say "goodbye" lonely.
In the world of love, if they have given each other their sincerity, who should be blamed?

Back to the movie itself, the end of the comedy should be after a thousand turns and a thousand turns, and when I look back, the man is in the dim light. The feelings are quietly sealed there, and the person still lives in the heart. When they meet again, they hug each other and their hearts are written on their faces.

The movie ended, and the love-hate entanglement in reality is still there. If we can be together, we must cherish it. There is really no way to be together. It’s good to bless each other.
