Against The Current Jessica & Adele

Sometimes, life catches up to you and you realise that there are certain projects you need to drop as you are juggling too many responsibilities. Unfortunately, this is one of them. Although our podcast 'Against The Current' is short-lived, we learned a lot through starting this podcast, working together to outline different episodes and being creative in our designs, titles and ideas. We had a good experience with our time as podcasters and we hope that we were able to be insightful and inspire those who have listened to 'Against The Current'.

Today, we had fun fantasising about our ideal futures but also remembering that ultimately His ways are higher than ours.

From the days of world wars, where people trained carrier pigeons to deliver messages to loved ones far away, to the renowned classical films, where girls would stay up late chatting to their heartthrobs over a landline, long-distance relationships have been around ever since boomers were babies. And so...LDRs continue to thrive today! In this episode, we discuss how we’ve maintained long-distance relationships and dealt with local friendships that have since gone international.
