my heart will go on

After going seven months without seeing each other, this January my boyfriend and I were hoping to finally end two years of long distance. We're from different countries, and so I had moved to live with him and try to find work in his city. When cases started showing in his city, things weren't too bad. Social isolation is pretty enjoyable when you're with someone who you've missed for so long... But, last week with announcements that international borders were closing, and no job on the horizon, I had to make the heart wrenching choice to go back to my hometown. With these shutdowns, we have no idea how many months it will be before we even have the opportunity to see each other again. We're both safe, financially secure and healthy, but this situation truly sucks.
