Distance Makes the Heart Grow: love, long distance & the borders that complicate both

This collection is about love, long distance & the borders that complicate both. The first time we said goodbye, we didn’t know when we’d see each other again – just that we would find a way. We didn’t know that this state of uncertainty would be the default state of our relationship for four years. We didn’t know that while we would continue to say ‘Yes’ to each other, the world would say ‘No’ over and over. Long distance already holds many physical and immaterial limitations, but these complications are eclipsed when bureaucracy and a global pandemic join the equation. What do you hold onto when there’s nothing concrete to grasp? How do you keep choosing someone when the world prevents you from being together? With heartache. With difficulty. And sometimes, with victory. —- ISBN: 9798873857043
