Journey Of A Million Words

Are you able to walk from point A to point B without any accidents?

Can you run without tripping on air?

Are you able to perform basic tasks with ease?

If you answered no to any of these questions, you're not alone. There are so many basic tasks I can't complete without incident, and that's okay. (I think so anyway.) Everyone is clumsy once in a while, some more than others. Here are 10 things that you know to be true if you're almost too clumsy to function.

1. Carrying multiple objects at once is a challenge.

A lot of people have difficulty with this, but if you're as uncoordinated as I am, it's definitely not something you want to do every day. Even the laziest clumsy person will resort to multiple trips to avoid the embarrassment of dropping things in front of people.

2. You would never survive in a horror movie.

You think you're going to run away from that scary thing chasing you? Think again. You're dead meat, pal. Hopefully you can muster up some master plan to crawl away or something, once you're down you probably won't be getting back up anytime soon.

3. You somehow hurt yourself almost every day.

One way or another, you've got some sort of injury. Whether it's a paper cut, a stubbed toe, a bruise you don't even remember getting, or even a broken bone.. No matter how hard you try, if it's going to happen, it's going to happen to you. Make sure you have a first-aid kit handy.

4. You lack basic coordination skills.

No matter how hard you try, your equilibrium is always off and this is what leads to most of your ridiculous injuries. You hand-eye coordination sucks, so sports are always a challenge. We're the people that always get picked last in gym class. It's okay though, at least we try.

5. Because of that, you can't walk in a straight line.

You can be sober AF and still sway and stumble. Hopefully you never get pulled over.

7. Everything is an obstacle.

We try our best though, so A for effort.

8. You literally trip over EVERYTHING

Air, pebbles, curbs... Air. But we recover gracefully and that's all that matters.

8. You typically wear (or drop) more food than you eat

This happens to me all the time. There's literally nothing worse than eating before you go out and getting something on your shirt. No matter how hard you try, it'll happen. Make that napkin a bib and hope for the best. Also, try to keep food away from the edge of the table.

9. You've learned how to laugh at yourself

After the first few times of falling, you start to learn that you just can't be embarrassed anymore. Besides laughter is the best medicine, especially when you hurt yourself real bad.


10. Regardless, you're still freakin' awesome.

No matter how many times you hurt yourself or drop things, you are awesome.


Be proud of who you are, you clumsy mess.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
