A Social Experiment?

It’s not really, but I wanted to write about it, store it in memory, and share what’s going on between Kyri and I right now:
The happiest hardship of our entire relationship.
I guess, if you really wanted to, you could call it a social experiment. It really ties into her religious views as a Christian. I’m not going to delve too deeply into it, but I am going to scratch the surface.
For Lent, Kyri has given up Texting and the Internet (for all uses other than school).
Even though I don’t consider our relationship to be an “internet relationship,” this is still quite difficult on both of us. Why is that? The internet and SMS are our primary means of communication.
We’ve spoken via phone twice, and SMS twice since then.
It’s only been a week, and it feels like an eternity.
Granted, there are plenty of times where we don’t talk much if at all for a day or two, but when I can’t talk to her for a day, or two, or three and knowing that I don’t know when I’ll hear from her until halfway through April; Forever was an hour ago.
I’ve told her that if either of us ever live together and have to go on business trips or something, we’re not allowed to not talk to each other because if we do; I’ll end up smothering her when she gets back.
