Lost
So this summer has not been a break at all. Although it has been an escape from the hectic life of the corporate world for a month vacation, there could not be an escape in one's personal life. It has been such a roller coaster of a ride that has left both parties involved completely exhausted. One day the situation is great, but the next could easily drive a major rift in the middle of the bliss. Now, this sounds like a situation where the two parties need to need to just split, but here it out. The problem is not with them. They are not the culprits of their own demise, they are not the reason for the problem!
One party does, however, have a massive earthquake living in their world away from their partner that has caused major strain on the relationship.
They love each other dearly. They respect each other so much. They just can't find themselves without seeing the other person anymore. Co-dependence has become an issue because it's almost to the extreme. Both parties have personal issues that must be worked out, but want to continue to help the other with their shit. In the process both parties lost themselves trying to help the other. Distance is weird because it is what they are usually fighting. They are executives working with companies that are in a merger agreement. This is has them working together more than usual, given before they barely saw each other. It is difficult go from one extreme to another with a smooth transition. It has left noticeable scars on both parties.
One party has decided to take breaks from spending time with the other in an attempt to have balance, while the other partner is not up for that. Having these high-end jobs is enough of a balance to the second party. This has brought a major cloud over the relationship filled with lots of misunderstandings and miscommunication. It is hurting both parties, but they don't know what to do. Sure, have a life away from the relationship, but with a kinship not even a year old and with issues coming from one camp that is mainly crushing the livelihood of the relationship, can one say that space is the best thing.
One party thinks so.....the other is LOST

Parting Ways
I am entering my Junior Year of College, and a world of anxiety is on my shoulders. I have to worry about finding a job in an economy that is getting worse by the minute. I have to figure out whether or not I will enter graduate school right out of undergraduate school or enter the work force with a gap year. I have to figure out which school I want to attend, and whether or not taking classes online is best for me since I need money now. I have so many ideas, but none of them are etched in stone so anything can happen.
But what worries me most is my growing distant relationship with my family.
I have noticed that every time I return "home" from school, I grow increasingly antsy because I just don't want to be here anymore. I have found that my family is not on the same level as I am. Not that I am higher, but that we are no longer compatible. I find that strange because for my entire life I had no problem relating with my cousins, who are like siblings because we grew up together, but now I get agitated by them for them not thinking, or saying, what I want them to. I go to school in an entire different state that has a multitude of people who at my school alone who range from loads of different backgrounds. Most of them are well-to-do, and have a world of experience. I come from a place where that does not happen. I was the exception in my family. My parents made sure their children visited places that were outside of the bullshit that surrounded them on a daily basis. I always felt that there was a distance between myself and family, because my aunts and uncles barely did that, but not this distance has been magnified because those cousins are basically stuck here in OB, SC. The ones that left I can relate to much better, I guess because they put themselves in other places and took initiative.
Maybe this anxiety is natural, because those who never leave, don't know a difference either way I guess...EPIPHANY!

What is the world coming to when a man has to sacrifice for one game, with the possibility that, if he does, he will NOT be able to go for the next?
