taking stock of where Im at in general and making time for self reflection about different areas of my life

Hello Everyone been a while since posting any kind of lengthy post ,Im really at a place of needing to reflect and take stock of where Im at,alot of things latelty wether good or bad have been out of my control,so many things going on at once,wether its family relationships, family events, personal growth and at the same time personal worries,constantly on the go,a new romantic relationship,taking the chance and risk of love hopefully without being majorly hurt again,its a long distance relationship which is quite different in a very positive way,just hope it stays that way,in terms of family relationships not getting along with a few family,but also seeing too much of other family members,its not to say that I dont love them or anything its just things have been a little too social as of lately with family get togethers ect,need a bit of alone time to ballance it all out,meanwhile worried for the romantic relationship being somehow neglected if im so constantly busy at the momment with spending so much time with family,so many changing circumastances at once,one coping method is smoking,another is sleeping,another is listening to either quiet or loud music depending on the mood,also going back to lighting fragrant candles to help relax,alot going on and trying to give my all to everyone,both the family relationships as well as this new found romantic relationship,one unmet need with the romantic relationship is that Id love for us to be able to call eachother instead of just messaging I need to hear the sound of his voice,he lives on the other side of the world and works full time aswell as other responsibilites with his family, Im also getting rather busy lately with my family,how do we keep the connection and communication strong when we live so far apart ,I realise all relationships have their ups and downs ,feeling the need for a nap at the momment and my phone keeps ringing today which is bugging me
