I wasn't sure if I should write this post because it may not resonate with everyone. But as I'm writing this, Jesse just left after a short visit, so I'm missing him a little extra right now. And while we have gotten a little more used to the long distance thing, I can't lie that him leaving never gets easier. When I tell people I have been in a long distance relationship for almost two years now, I often get asked how we handle it, so I thought I'd share that here in case there are any other couples out there going through the same thing.

I've wanted to work in the film business since I was in high school when I realized it was a career I could have, and since then dreamed of moving to Los Angeles. Once I graduated college, I was able to achieve that dream, and have been living here for almost two years now. But it was not an easy road to get here, and I faced many hurdles on my way to L.A. So if you are wondering what it was like to make the leap and move across the country with no job, keep on reading!
