I met a girl online. It was five years ago. I was in my second year at university, I saw her picture and decided to write. She liked me too and we started communicating.
When I found out how far away she was I got pretty upset, but after working for a couple of months and saving up some money I decided to go and visit her. By that time we had had a big fight over some trifle. She didn’t talk to me much, so I decided to surprise her.
I drove for two days to see her. When I got there and called her, she was totally shocked at first, then she cried and confessed that she had found a boyfriend and they were together now. She offered to come over to their place for the night, but I was disgusted to go there. I didn’t have any friends in the city, so I decided to rent a room for a few days. I started looking for a job in the morning and got lucky, the job I wanted was available and I called the person right away and they hired me. Very lucky with the landlord, he offered to let me stay for half a month before my paycheck, and then I was able to pay the rent.
Five years have passed since then. I fell in love with this new city with all my heart, I work, I was promoted, I bought an apartment, and now I feel that I didn’t come here in vain after all. For the first few months the girl I came to see asked me to forgive her, I wasn’t angry, but I didn’t want to meet her either. Though I couldn’t let her go for almost three years, I constantly thought about her.
My parents supported me, even praised me for solving all my problems on my own. I finished my studies remotely, got my diploma, and after that I was promoted.
I never thought that failed love, so abruptly change my life. I would like to say one last thing, if you love and the person is far away, you do it, go away, change your life and never get upset, you never know where fate will turn you, but in any case it will be for the best.
