What is "Truth?"

Before I took this philosophy class I questioned many things going on in my every day life and the world around me however, some how I find myself questioning even more than I did before. Because of this I ask you: What is the point of trying to make a long-distance relationship work?

This thought crossed my mind when my boyfriend of almost two years told me he was going to another state for school this school year. As it took me as somewhat of a surprise we both agreed that we felt it was worth it to try and make it work. It has been four months since he left to his state and left me here in California. Many of my friends and especially my parents question why we would even try to make it work, especially when  you factor in the distance between us is close to a twenty hour drive. 

My answer to this question is simple, as one of my classmates today said, your reality is what you make it to be. What is truth to you may not be truth to another but as long as it is your truth and you are ok with it, that is all that matters. So to relate this back to my original question, the reason I feel it is worth it to make a long-distance relationship work is because it is my truth, and my reality, and maybe not everyone can see from my eyes but that doesn't neccessarily matter to me.

In conclusion, your truth is what you make it to be, and you can truly apply this to any situation you find yourself in.
