"The two body problem is a physics problem where two bodies orbit around the same point but never meet. This definition is now used to describe a common situation where couples are failing to find employment in the same geographic location, often leading to long-distance relationships in order for them both to pursue their careers or education. This is a flip book depicting my own two body problem by displaying how my relationship often used text messages in order to continue. Whether it was everyday trivialities or serious statements, we used texting to stay in touch while apart. We both looked forward to the day when our separate homes, locations and lives came together and became one and the same. The thoughts were always present for the day in which we no longer had to describe our lives through texting but could do it in person again."
