Commitment Junkie

Am I a Commitment Junkie? Am I addicted to being in a relationship? Can I not live without a significant other to share love with? As an addict I am going to have to deny my problem, but as always and evidence tells a different story. Currently I find myself in yet another long distance relationship, similar to the one I participated in last winter, which left me heartbroken in the end. However, I would like to think of myself as older and wiser this time around, I still make the same mistake of being in a relationship that seems to have an unknown expiry date. It is not even known when the 2 of us will see each other again.....
On the contrary, I must ask this question: Is it better to be in difficult love, then not in love at all? Difficult love defined as love that has geographical boundaries, plenty of fighting and arguing, or any other factors that may leave people in the relationship to be on an emotional rollarcoaster. Difficult love can cause one or both of the people to experience extreme highs, but also very low lows that can snowball unless they are communicated properly. So the question is... why do we put ourselves through this?? why do i torture myself with the agony of being away from a loved one??? The answer is simple: ALL NEED IS LOVE!!! It's as easy as that... nothing is anything without love... relationships, music, art..it all thrives on love. So yes, I will continue to be committed to someone on the other side of the country because it makes everything else worth while.. just like how the valleys make the mountains magnificant!
