I know that a lot of my friends think that I'm making a huge mistake by dating him. I know that you guys don't really approve mostly for two reason #1. Because of what he is. #2. Because you've seen me do this and I know you dont want me to get hurt.

I appreciate this concern. I really do. I love that I have such caring and wonderful friends. And I know that to some extent you might be right that I might come out of this being hurt. But then, it'll be my own fault. See, because right now, I understand that no matter what, this thing with him  has an expiry date. I understand that, I know that even if it lasts til he's done here, the expiry date wont disappear because he will eventually leave to go back and there's no way such a FAR distanced thing will work, especially if we both now we're not planning on staying over with each other anytime. (Unless he's thinking like Australia or Canada ;)) 

But anyway, my point is, I understand what this is with him. And I'm trying to be really careful this time. And I know that I won't put up with shit if ever he does give me shit. The moment I feel like things are going wrong and that he's messing around with me too much, I'm out. All I need is for you guys, my friends, to have my back and hold me down. 

I just want you guys to understand that I pretty much understand the consequences of what I'm doing. I know that like it was with any other guy, I will always have a small part of my heart for this person (yes simba, I admit you were right. Now shutup :)) But it's not some massive part that will end up breaking me, you know?

I know that life will go on, that someday the ONE will really come along. Til then, I dont think it's wrong for me to want to be happy this way.

Note; I love you guys tons! :) Thank you for caring.
