You Can't Let This Hover Over Your Life Forever, Right?

7 Things We Must Let Go Of
The Spirit Science

Everyone is constantly running. Running in circles that are filled with anxiety, tenacious behaviors towards jobs and people, attitudes that unravel when you least expect it from the people you least expect it from. We are constantly surrounded by a stressed and damaged world and the one thing we don't need to add to our daily issues are simple issues that can be resolved by rethinking events and thoughts you have towards others and yourself.

Take a deep breath; in and out. Believe in yourself and realize what the bigger goal is in life and move past these small things:

1. Hatred Towards Others

Get over it and yourself. Move on to something better and more productive. This isn't helping you to be a better person or grow in any faith with God.

1 John 4:19-20 states:

We love because God first loved us. Whoever says, "I Love God," but hates his brother is a liar. The one who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love the God who he has not seen.

We must learn to move on and be gracious unto one another.

2. The Need to Constantly Judge Ourselves (it’s good to do it every once in a while because you have to be on top of yourself in order to excel and change within your life, but you have to be chill enough that you can be calm and be yourself.)

We aren't perfect. No one is. So stop being so dang hard on yourself for little things in life you are working on!

3. Looking at others and judging them

So many people I come upon look a certain way and I have no thought that I would talk to them and then they become the most amazing people that I have met.

We need to quit this stigma that looms over us of judging people based on the clothing they wear, overall aesthetic, first words, first impression in general.

You have times when you haven't been on your A game and had to make an impression right? Give other's some slack.

4. Worrying What Others Think

If this simple habit is put to rest, I promise most of your life problems will be solved. Constantly worrying about what other's think will put you in a state of anxiety that never leaves and follows you everywhere. Let it go by being confident in all you are and what you are doing. Every move, every motive you have to do something in life, own it.

OWN IT.

5. Bad Relationships:

They slowly tear you apart and bring you down to the bottom. We know you want that guy/girl who keeps playing you but say GOODBYE.

Find a man who loves you for your beautiful soul, has his/her own opinion and can treat you right.

6. Tinder and Bumble and any “hook up” dating sites.

These sites are purely for people who want to judge people in 5 seconds or less. How horrible is it that people look at your first photo for maybe 2 seconds and then swipe left and never look at you again? That is not what we are about in this life of letting things go. Your anxiety gets driven up the wall and heart starts beating, wondering if the guy across the line thinks you are pretty enough and your interests match enough? Get a life. Move on. Meet people in real life. Enjoy those people in real life. Date them.

7. Worrying completely about your financial situation

You're never going to have enough money ok? So go travel and enjoy life. Find someone to sponsor these trips; go somewhere for a mission trip, some kind of cause.

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.
