Yup. It's okay though We met online many years ago, way before our long distance and interracial relationship would have been allowed by our respective very racist sets of parents. As two kids growing up getting beaten up by parents with anger problems, internet really saved us, I feel.

It was a huge thing for me to have made the trip, given my anxiety. My parents really, really tried to dissuade me too haha, even though they "gave approval" for us to date a couple of years ago. As if we needed their approval (they don't give a crap that we've long been legal adults), but when they found out about the relationship, it initially wasn't pleasant at all...not kidding when I say my father believes he owns me.
