If possible, make plans to visit each other once a month or so, keep up with each other on skype or texts, just remember how much you love each other and think about the day when you will be together again. :]"

Thank you for this. <3

I would be inclined to think most Pisces wouldn’t fair well in a long distance relationship. Many Pisces wish to “become one” with their partner, and that type of unity would be difficult to achieve in a long distance relationship. I imagine long distance relationships would be unsatisfying to a Pisces. I also would think it could lead them to become very depressed, as romance is very important to Pisces.

I suppose maybe surrounding yourself with loved ones might be a good way to cope. Spend time with friends, occupy yourself with hobbies. :c But then I know you could be prone to thinking, “I wish so-and-so was here to enjoy this with me,” so I think perhaps it’s really about doing things you enjoy, and letting yourself be happy on your own. Don’t bring yourself down because you can’t share the moments together, you know?

For example; going to college, getting a job, getting married, having kids, getting old, retiring, etc. Do you think Pisces are more prone to an unusual or "off the beaten path" way of life? A life higher and more rewarding than normal existence."

Well, I am inclined to think Pisces would rather have the sort of life which is easy-going, in which they could act to their hearts content. And I do think that the way (Western Society) has structured life is very unappealing to Pisces. I’ve often heard that “this world is not meant for Pisces,” and it’s largely in reference to our unearthly nature. However, I do think our approach tends to be so incredibly abstract, that the idea of structured routine seems quite dull. I think many Pisces often, and unfortunately, allow themselves to become overrun with what is expected of them. I mean, I think the safest way to be successful is to follow that life style— school, college, job, marriage, etc. And I think many Pisces perhaps lose themselves in this, especially their artistic nature. I do think there is perhaps a compromise that exists, but I have yet to find it. 

But ultimately, I do think it is Pisces inclination to resist “normal living.” Do we tend to just float through life, though? I’m inclined to think Pisces lose faith in themselves, or lose confidence, and end up trying to fit into  this “expected, normal living."

Well, yes and no.

I think it’s easy to understand the “basic gist” of a pisces. I think the majority of Pisces are quite… well, exposed? I mean, I think if you looked at a person who fit the stereotypical Pisces, many people would describe them with words that were more-or-less truthful about them! You know, words like: shy, sensitive, caring, etc. But that hardly sums up a person! However, I think a lot of people might just leave it at that, and think they understand the Pisces completely, when they just know the face-value. Does that make sense? Pisces are often compared to the ocean— the ocean is vast, deep, and most of it hasn’t been explored yet. Most people only see the face of the ocean; likewise, most people only see the surface of a Pisces! Because, yes, as you said— I think many of us are a little secretive or feel uncomfortable? Or perhaps don’t reveal everything? Like the ocean, Pisces have many layers. And many Pisces, I think, don’t often reveal all the different layers to the way they think, or feel, etc. Therefore, because many people don’t get through all those layers, we might feel as though we’re hard to “get to know." 

So, I think it’s easy to understand a Pisces’ nature at face value— but that alone doesn’t mean much, especially since I believe Pisces have a lot underneath that face value.
