Distance Brings You Closer Only To Those Who Value You

Distance brings you closer only to those who really care. It brings you closer only to the ones who feel your absence when you’re gone and genuinely miss having you around. It brings you closer to the ones who already appreciate you and want to share their most memorable life moments with you. Distance brings you closer to the ones who always knew that you’re special and the distance only reaffirmed that. It brings you closer to the ones who did their best to include you in their lives because you meant something to them. 

Distance brings you closer to the ones who are afraid of losing you, the ones who don’t want the silence to linger or the communication to stop. It brings you closer to the ones who always find a way to tell you how much you mean to them or how much they miss you or how they always remember you. It brings you closer to the ones who won’t let time or distance or circumstances get in the way because you’re more important than all of that to them. Distance means nothing when you truly mean something to someone. 

Because the truth is, distance only pushes away those who never truly cared to begin with, those who liked you when it was convenient, those who just enjoyed your company but didn’t really value it. The distance is only an obstacle for those who weren’t keen on keeping you in their lives, for those who only want you in their lives temporarily. But the ones who want you in their lives permanently won’t let anything get in the way, because some people make distance seem easy and some people make it seem like it’s the end of the world. 

Distance can be painful, but when someone fears losing you, your absence will be more painful and they will do something about it. They won’t just let you slip away. They won’t forget about you as soon as you’re gone. It’s not going to be ‘out of sight, out of mind’ it will actually be the exact opposite. They’ll miss you even more. They’ll remember you even more. They’ll realize your worth even more. They’ll make the effort even more. They’ll express themselves to you even more. They’ll use distance as an excuse to get closer, because distance brings you closer to those who actually care and those who truly want to stay in your life.
