9 Fears Every Clumsy Person Faces Daily

We all have that friend who just can't seem to get it together. They always seem to somehow have everything happen to them, no matter where you go. Unfortunately...I am SO that friend. Here are some fears that us clumsy people have in common:

1. Gravity

It. Is. Terrifying. It brings us down more quickly than an 8 a.m. does our GPA. One second, we are briskly walking with our squad..and the next we are lying on the cold, hard ground. Tragic.

2. Stairs

Up or down, moving or stationary it doesn't matter. They are all a threat. When you're clumsy, you lose all balance and sense of direction; and can usually perform the art of falling UP the stairs. Pretty talented.

3. White Clothing

No. no. nope. na-uh. clumsy people never never, never buy stark white ANYTHING..especially clothes. The first time we wear it, it's done for. It will have a stain from food, a pen, or literally anything else because messes are attracted to people like us. You stable people just don't understand and you can wear these super cute white clothes...and we are jealous.


4. Sports

"Do you play any sports?"...HAHAHAHA have you seen my hand-eye coordination? I couldn't kick myself if I had to, much less a ball. Gym was a hard time period for people like me, simply because we got injured...a lot. We usually love games, we are just really bad at them.

(P.S: So sorry to all of my teams that lost in dodgeball, soccer, basketball, softball, tennis, volleyball, etc..over the years)

5. Corners of seriously anything

If it's not padded, or in a safe zone, we have probably stubbed our toes on it. RIP to my pinkie toe..it's been through too much for one lifetime.


6. Anything that seems harmless to you, is a danger to us

It's so true.


7. Having to hold fragile items

You know like dishes, babies, small animals...drop-able stuff like that.

8. Cups without Lids

They are cause for disaster and should not exist. They only lead to trouble.


AND FINALLY,

9. Pretty much anything that isn't an open, empty space

If it's got stuff, we've got no control. Clumsy people can turn any situation into a dangerous one, and while we may not be the safest friend that you have, we're probably the most entertaining.

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.
