Dear John is a sotry about long distance love and the army. Even though I have no experience with having a significant other in the armed forces, I have a lot of experience with long distance relationships. This movie shows how difficult long distance can be and that eventually as time goes on you need to stop and figure out if you can continue in such a relationship.
It seems like every relationship that I have ever been involved in has been long distance, but varying in some way. They have ranged from a few hours, to long distance just during the week, to way across the country (this is the most recent one =) .
Sometimes long distance is so hard because some days all you can do is think about the other person and how much you miss them; it consumes your whole day and you are down in the dumps. I would be lying if I say I don't think sometimes it would be easier to not do it.
Every now and then it just gets so difficult that you feel it would be simpler to end it, but then you remember how much you love the other person and the reason you are fighting to stay together. It takes all you have to get through the time apart until you are finally able to be together for good. It can definitely turn you into a very strong person.
One other thing that this movie brings up that I believe in is that everything happens for a reason and what is meant to be will always find its way in the end. In the movie they break up, and go their separate ways, but in the end they find their way back to each other because they were meant to be together. They went through a lot to get there together. I just think that I'll let whatever happens happen and what is meant to happen to me will happen!! Until then I will just hang on through the distance.
