The PWP Grows.

After sitting in class this past week and learning about the blog I'll be creating I had a lot of thoughts go through my head. Of course being a music business major I automatically leaned toward something in that direction. I had all sorts of cool ideas about how I could maybe even turn this web project into something more, almost as if it were a music magazine that details the alternative and local music scene. But after lots of contemplating and fighting with ideas I thought to step out of my comfort zone and maybe talk about something many can relate to on a more personal level over who's playing a show at the metro next weekend.

Many people wouldn't know by looking at me, but I'm currently involved in a long distance relationship. Now many say it would never last, and some people believe I'm totally crazy for even considering it. But like many college students when the end of the summer approaches we sadly have to sometimes leave that special person in a different area. Now, this could be the case, but I've actually been in this situation since my boyfriend and I started dating. He's in Green Bay, WI. while I'm back and forth from Chicago to Minneapolis. Its a daily struggle to stay strong especially when I have a bad day and just need a hug and cant get that from the person who means the most to me. However for some odd reason we're making it work and strive to be there for each other no matter how far away we are. Hes in a band who will eventually tour, and as the relationship grows there will always be the distance factor.

I thought it would be interesting to take the time out and share our story with people, and prove to the people who don't approve of the relationship that it can work out. We're perfect for each other, we're just not in the perfect situation currently. From the moment we met I knew I would spend the rest of my life with him, hes the missing puzzle piece that I've been trying to find, and I haven't been happier since.

Whether this is a cool idea, or a lame one, I feel like it could reach out to people in the same situation and let them know they're not alone! But if this one is a flop, I guess I can always go back to the music blog....
