Viola Wang has been in a long distance relationship with her boyfriend for three years.
Having experienced all there is to experience when dating someone who lives thousands of miles away, she decided to capture what it’s really like via these sweet illustrations.
Inspired by British Illustrator Philippa Rice’s comic Soppy, Viola has created a series showing the situations many long distance couples face.
She hopes to show through her illustrations that although maintaining a relationship with someone who’s far away can be tough, when you know that you are with ‘The One’, everything seems worthwhile.
She describes missing her loved one
And how celebrating special occasions without them can be hard
How crazy time zones are the worst
But not as annoying as bad internet connection – which obviously only occurs when you desperately need it to work
Sorting out travel to one another can be incredibly frustrating
But also ridiculously exciting when you finally do hatch a plan
Counting down the days until you see each other becomes a hobby
And nothing can prepare you for those butterflies you feel when the day finally comes
You make sure to make the most of every second you spend together
You’re so comfortable together, it’s as if you’ve never been apart
You try your best not to cry on your last night together
You say goodbye, and prepare yourself for the same routine to begin again
And you remember that no matter how far away you are, when you love each other that much, distance doesn’t matter
