25 Things You Should Never Apologize For

We are all constantly worried about our image or how others perceive us. We often find we are not being true to ourselves because of the fear of upsetting someone else. This usually leads to putting others feelings above our own needs. You're not being true to yourself when you say you're sorry for something you're not. While there are times to apologize for our actions, there are also some things that we have absolutely no reason to be sorry for.

Here are a few things, I think, you should never have to apologize for:

1. Loving someone


2.Doing well in life


3. Being yourself


4. Your weight or physical attributes


5. Being tired


6. Achieving a goal


7. Eating ice cream...before dinner!!


8. Asking for or needing help


9. Not checking your phone every five minutes


10. Laughing loudly


11. Licking the cake batter


12. Having a lot of friends


13. Crying sometimes


14. Taking time for yourself

15. Speaking your mind


16.Being single


17. Sleeping in on your day off


18. Having a little fun


19. Needing space


20. Loving animals


21. Dancing in the rain or jumping in puddles


22. Saying no


19.Taking a nap


20.Being honest


20. Being happy


Stop worrying about what other people think. Over apologizing when it is not necessary can cause low self-esteem. It's great to be able to say "I'm sorry", but save it for when you have actually messed up. Know the difference between being wrong and standing up for yourself.


"Never apologize for showing your feelings. When you do, you are apologizing for the truth." - Benjamin Disraeli

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
