Hi Everyone! My name’s Oliver and above are pictures of my beautiful boyfriend and I. (if you’re interested on when these pictures were taken, click through them <3 they’re labeled with the dates of our visits with each other!) I’m making this post in hopes to raise the money to possibly see him again Soon!
I’ve known Harrison since January 1, 2014 and I asked him out November 18, 2014 (cause I’m a big baby and was too scared to do do it any sooner), but we both agree it basically felt like we had been dating since May 2014 (cheesy but we basically were. It was just unsaid till one of us got up the guts to officially ask.). Within the last close to 2 years of knowing each other, we’ve only gotten to officially see each other 2 times, all roughly 6 months apart. We normally have the opportunity to skype every day for at least several hours if not more as well, but I’m working toward getting two jobs and he’s working toward getting one to work between going to school, so w’re going to soon lose that small amount of communication as well. I know that’s still pretty okay for some long distance relationships but I can’t help wanting to see him then every 6 months or so. But the good thing is: I possibly can now!
Before, we both had to rely on saving enough money to see each other via airplane, and both of us had school so the only opportunities we had were holidays, and flights into Austin or flights into Springfield during holidays aren’t very cheap as you can imagine, hence why we weren’t able to see each other very much. But as of September 11, I am now a licensed driver with a car! Which means, I can now drive to see Harrison instead of relying on those ridiculously overpriced planes! But the thing is, it’s easily a 10 hour drive between our two cities, and my car is old and doesn’t have real quality gas mileage. So the gas for that sort of long road trip (20 hours round trip not even including the extra expense driving around Austin with him while I’m there) is pretty pricey ;;; and that’s where this post comes in!
I’m asking all of you lovely people to possibly donate a few extra bucks (or commission me!! I have commissions open!!!) to me so I can visit him one last time!! I’m asking for roughly $250, most of it going toward covering the price of gas for the 20 hour round trip, then the rest going to food expenses and any extra expense. But don’t get me wrong friends, I am definitely working to get a job (hopefully two if everything pans out), but every cent earned from those jobs - whatever doesn’t go into paying bills - goes into my other planned trips to visit Harrison (if I even get the time off to make those few visits). Or to the ultimate goal: moving to Austin so I can be closer to my boyfriend!! That’s right! I am saving to move to Austin in hopefully a years time from now; so as you can imagine any extra dime I have has to go toward that personal fund. The only reason I am asking for help now, friends, is because after I get those jobs, I’m most likely not going to get to see Harrison for at least several more months from now; possibly even longer since I have to get time off two jobs for the minimum 4 day trip it takes me to drive there, say hi, and drive back with a somewhat okay amount of sleep needed to drive the solid 10 hours each way safely. I’m asking for donations, for commission interest, for really anything anyone is willing to give, because I’d like to make one last trip out to see him before the foreseeable future.
Thank you everyone for taking the time to read this post, and thank you for any interest in helping me and my boyfriend out <3 Anything we receive is beyond appreciated!! If you donate, leave your username and I’ll try to sketch up something for you or give you a proper shout out after we raise the money <3<3<3
