Long
Distance Relationships:
Can The Love Survive?
Relationships
require a lot of work
under normal circumstances, so it is quite
obvious that a long distance relationship
is not for the faint of heart. It's also not

as it often requires couples to spend a lot
of money in order to spend time
together.
Joseph Cunningham, a musician,
has been with his girlfriend for four and

of flirting is very healthy and common, as
evidenced by the
multitude of persons who indulge in it daily.

the world over by throngs of Michael Jackson
supporters. It has resonated through speakers,
radios and television sets across the globe.
It is, after all, one of the more popular
lyrics of the "gloved one".
The world is often described
as being "black and white". The
simplicity of
this description for two distinct things in
this life also affords a peek into the negative
racial connotations that are embedded in the
deep cracks and creases of our society.
