I think to myself, what can I do to create more positive connections when we’re apart. I know I’m 6 hours ahead of my partner, here in a foreign country. So it’s already hard to make schedule for both of us, especially when I came here for work.

But I need to understand the bigger picture. The bigger picture here is, there is lot of work to be done for us. There is lot of things we can do to make separation easier. Like lowering the amount of fights we have, supporting each other better when we have stressors in our lives, and having more connected efforts when it comes to schedules and life.

I should be more patient and more caring. For me, this is a continuous journey and I will never be “satisifed” any step of the way. This is an important reminder for me that no matter how good one gets, life only gets tougher.

I gave a lot of thought on what I need to do while I was on the plane. It’s to pay back 10 fold of what she has done for me. I want to do so much for my partner at the best of my ability. She deserves the best of me and so do I….

I know I didn’t do much work as I was sick due to plane ride, but I did start on fight right book.
