So I've decided to approach a personal situation, publicly, so that I don't have to answer this awkward question anymore. Yes, I'm going to France. What day am I leaving? September 7th. What day am I coming back? June 20th. Am I going to be continuing with my current relationship while I'm overseas for a year? The answer is an obvious "yes."
Honestly, every repetitive question is irritating but the last one is the most aggravating of all. First of all- that's kind of personal, so if you're not a close family member or friend, it's really none of your business. Secondly- now that I've made it clear to you that no, my boyfriend and I are not breaking up just because I'll be gone ten months, let me explain to you how stupid of a question that is.
Ask yourself this- if you devoted your time, attention, and emotions to a person for half a year, would you want to just end that because you'll be farther away from said person? No, probably not. That would mean that I wasted all my time and his becoming closer and more attached to each other just to leave it all behind. No one would choose to do that.
And another thing- I'm not stupid enough to get into a relationship that I don't see continuing into the future. I wouldn't have dated anyone before I left if I didn't think it was worth it.
"But Zoë, how can you trust someone that's across the ocean from you?" Well, I just do. I know that from past blog entries it's apparent to the public that I was inadvertently raised to believe that love never lasts and that people are selfish but this time around I'm believing differently...and instead of everyone doubting that I'm serious, they should be glad I've found someone who can change my pessimistic outlook on relationships.
So there you have it internet: I'm an open book for you to read. Now, stop asking me idiotic questions.
