The Journey We Face

Pokeninjagirl is an amazing woman. She is a woman of few words and she lives long distance, but she still makes me smile. Recently, we went through a period of about three to four months where we lost contact with each other. It was hard for the both of us and it got even harder when I chose not to pursue a relationship with her, but with another amazing woman. It is because of that lack of communication that we fell out of sync with each other. Then when her world fell apart, I was there to step in and help her rebuild. Even though we were, and still aren't, together in a relationship, it was then that our friendship began to grow stronger. 

I am still with the one I asked, but Julie holds a special place in my heart, not as the one who got away or I lost; instead she's the one who I can confide in and keep me calm. I have been there for her for over a year now and seek to bring her through her own life trials, even though they were the same reasons we fell out of touch. 

Our project is about a mirror that signifies how far away we are, but how close together we remain. We want so desperately to see each other, but are refrained by the lack of technology and the distance that impedes our path, only remaining close by phone calls and the art she uses to keep our friendship going. 

We may not be together in a relationship, but we are together through God's grace. It's hard to put into words, but I love her company and want to always take care of her through every trial.
