Separated by cities, countries, and circumstance, it feels like the JFC is reaching a new level in the land of relationships. The counterparts we once sought in close proximity have now been found at distances seemingly unfathomable. Yet through perseverance, rationality, and a sheer yearning, these bonds blossom, grow, and strengthen because none of us are willing to let go of what we are sure is so good.
Personalities, appearances, finances, morals, friendships, tastes, families, directions, motivations, dreams, realities--all of these on top of distance (actual and metaphoric) have all been put to the test, and yet here we all stand, ready for the next hurdle to be thrown our ways. Where before at the first signs of weakness the instinct was to turn tail and run--not out of fear but out of deeming it not worth it--suddenly the act is to take up arms and fight through.
Growing up? Maturing? Or something else? A little bit of all is the easy answer. But I think (fingers crossed) that this just may be the first time the JFC has really found something; those worth fighting for.
