Is it normal that i like being long distance ?

I'm in a long distance relationship w my new bf who I have been talking to for quite a while now. Sometimes I get sad because I realize that were gonna be long distance for a very long time until we settle down and decide to get married (if that is in the cards for us). I have a feeling were gonna be those traveling/long distance couples where even if married and with kids, were gonna have to arrange a schedule to be together. It sucks but in a way sounds like an exciting life and the long distance right now is just preparing us to survive the future. But I also like the idea of being long distance right now cause, I know it will sound kind of suspicious, but I like how I kind of have the best of both worlds. It gives me space to do what I want and I don't mean go out on dates but just to do me and focus on my life at the same time as having someone. I'm pretty sure he feels the same way cause he likes his space more than I do and were both fresh out of college trying to find a job. Its kind of like living a double life. The reason why I think its okay to feel this way is cause I know my heart is all for him 100% and he has made it clear that he wants to be with me long term and there's no one else. So were both secured with one another but its like were living a double life and I like that. I get to do me and have a bf. I was always like that, never too on guys seriously but I guess cause I never really had feelings for the past guys. But I finally caught feelings and it can be hard to not take it seriously w someone u love but I think about it and long distance is just what I need right now. Is that normal ?
