Okay hi guys my name Shannon and this-
oh you came and I left
I..no I tried to hide
Don't hide from the people. The people wanna see you
I hide from you!
Okay hi guys my name's Shannon and this...
is my beautiful girlfriend Cammie
Okay so today we're doing another "Sincerely Yours" video
which is where we take topics we get from y'alls letters in our P.O. box,
and we make a whole video addressing all of you guys at once.
And we haven't done this in a while, but we are gonna try it really hard
to start doing them a lot more often.
Let us know if you like this, so we know you want to see them.
Okay so you may or may not know
that me and Cammie...
Cammie and I or me and Cammie?
Cammie and I
Fuck
You may or may not know that Cammie and I
were in a long distance relationship for
a year and a half.
A year and a half too long.
It's a long ass time.
It is a long time.
So we get a lot of
letters that ask us like
how do you make an LDR work
like how do we make this LDR last.
Yeah. Its definitely one of the top questions I get on anything.
So without further ado
here are our "do's and don'ts"
in surviving an LDR.
Have planned Skype dates.
And don't bail on them just like you wouldn't if it was in person.
Hey babe
Hey!
Are you gonna be able to FaceTime tonight?
Oh, I don't know
I'm... ugh. I have so many errands to run today
I don't know if I'll be able to.
Alright well I guess just let me know if you can
Hey babe
are you ready for our movie date?
Yes of course.
Do you have the movie all pulled up?
I'm ready.
Play on three?
Yeah
One...
Two...
Three!
Not that there's anything wrong with
falling asleep together every single night
while you are FaceTiming or whatever,
but if you plan weekly or bi-weekly "date nights"
then it kind of makes it so
we are going to be together on this day at this time
for sure.
So if you have to bail on a random like
Tuesday night,
you don't get mad at each other for that
but if it's your planned Skype night,
then you can get mad.
And it also gives you the opportunity to come up with like
a creative , like, date night surrounded around
that night that you've chosen whether it's like
you guys are watching a movie together or
playing , like, Scattergories
we've done that a few times.
But yeah it gives you the opportunity to come up with like
an actual , like, date idea plan.
Plan trips to see each other as often as possible.
Ideally, have your next trip planned before
you're even done with your current one.
Did you like that?
Mhm.
Alright I love you babe
I love you too
When am I gonna see you next?
I don't know
our schedules are nuts.
Well, I guess we'll just
figure it out eventually.
I'm sorry. I wish I knew.
I gotta go. Love you
Bye
Bye baby
I love you. I'll see you in thirty days
when you come to visit me, right?
Yeah. Tickets are all booked.
Good.
I miss you.
Bye.
Bye baby.
Bye.
I think it makes it easier
to leave someone when you know the next time
you're gonna see them rather than
going in dark when you're saying goodbye because
it's way more daunting and scary and you're like
what if it's like four months?!
What if it's the last time I ever see you?
This is the enddddddd
I'll never let go, Jack!
And then you let go. Okay.
Take lots of pictures and videos.
Selfie
Snapchat
Stop!
Come on
Hi Snapchat
As much as it drove me up the wall that
Shannon constantly wanted to take pictures
especially of me
it was so nice if I was on the plane leaving her or
she had just left me
to be able to look through all the pictures,
edit them, and just relive our weekend together
and be happy about it rather than
being so upset that she left
So, thank you. I'll say it. Thank you.
You're welcome. Finally!
Finally!
I admit it
Finally it has happened to me
Keep in touch with each other
and
the people around you
...irritated these people were like complaining
about their drinks, not wanting to pay their tab
whatever
Shan
Are you listening to me?
Yeah. Oh yeah. Mhm
Shannon.
Sorry. Yeah.
So anyway...
Hey babe. I just got to the party so
let me call you when I get done here, okay?
Alright.
Love you.
Bye.
You've got to find the right balance of
keeping in touch with the person
who obviously means most to you, but
also not forgetting or putting
relationships that are right around you
on the backburner.
If you're in college or high school or
just anyone living your life, and
you're neglecting your friends and people
that are around you everyday,
that is going to affect your life.
So, find the right balance of
talking to
the one you love
and the ones that you love that
are around you everyday.
Make sure you're in love with the person
and not just the idea of them.
Hey babe.
What are you doing?
Just cleaning up after Lee, as always.
I am so relieved that you're clean like me cause
I can't stand messes.
Uhhhhh...yeah!
So this might not actually be a do or a don't
it's more of a cautionary thing to keep in mind.
It can be so easy to kind of
fall in love with the idea of
constantly having someone's attention or
being able to text someone
when you're having a bad day, but
just because you like the situation might
not mean you really love the person.
So just don't build them up to be
someone that they aren't.
Really get to know them and
love them for them, not for
the relationship.
Yep.
Trust is key.
Ba dum tss.
Nothing too bad but
You of all people?
That's why I said kind of because
I flushed my fish before it was dead
Cam! Oh my God!
It wouldn't die!
Wait. Cammie do you need to get that?
Holy fuck
Did you do any of them?
No
Wait, yes.
Hold on.
I'm trying to pick the best one.
Fine. That one.
Okay. Wait I gotta mix them up.
Successfully smooth talk my way out of
getting a ticket or being arrested.
Being chased by the police
Okay. Were you guys together on this?
When you're in a long distance relationship
there's a lot of opportunities
to feel insecure or like
what are they doing?
I don't know what's going on
because you're not there all the time
which is why trust is so important
and obviously trust is something that
you need to build together, but
if you're not willing to give it
at all,
then it's never gonna work.
A long distance relationship will not work
without trust.
Another one
And last but not least,
if you love them more than you miss them,
then it's worth it.
Is it worth it?
Let me work it
I put my thing down flip it and reverse it
Alright guys I hope you liked this video.
I hope that these little tips and "do's and don'ts"
helped you if you are in a long distance relationship
or you might be entering a long distance relationship.
Definitely abide by our rules.
We know everything.
Every...about everything, but
definitely about long distance relationships.
Obviously, we don't know everything.
We don't know the perfect secrets.
And to be honest,
long distance isn't right for everyone.
Some people truly can't handle it, but
with a little work
and a lotta love,
it can work.
Make sure you give this video
a thumbs up if
you like this and
if you like this new way we did
this "Sincerely Yours"
I know it's like a little bit different um...
approach.
Also, thumbs up for the new lens.
Thanks Cam Scott.

for the lens
