An Open Letter To Getting Over It

You'll be OK, I promise.

An Open Letter To Getting Over It

To all my fellow girls who need to get over it,

This letter is for all the girls who somehow got stuck along the way, hung up on an irrelevant boy, and somehow can't find the direction, or the strength, or enough reasons to get over it. We've all been there, there is no denying it. You hear it constantly from your friends, all of the 'Why are you still talking about it him?' questions or 'Why do you still care?' and you know what, that's the million dollar question. You seriously wish you could answer the question of why you still care, why you still think about it, why you have not gotten over it yet.

Well guess what, you still care and that's OK, because we're all human and all have emotions (although for some men it's still highly debatable). There are some people you cross paths with in life, either for a short period of time or some who stay for awhile, who have an impact on your life that you can't explain. You don't understand it yourself and don't understand why they resonate with you so strongly. It all starts out as something, and just as you were OK when things started, you will be OK when things end.

What you need to know is, if that person you care about so much doesn't put in effort to be in your life, you need to get over it. And not saying you're 'over it' until the weekend when you drunk text or Snapchat him, I mean get over him until you're as close to being back to your regular self as possible. Because let's face, anyone with such an impact on our lives will sometimes take a little piece of us with them, that we have to learn to patch up. And the way you patch up that piece is within yourself and knowing you are the only person who can save yourself.

For whatever reason you're hung up on him, the list can be endless. You're not going to always have all the answers to why things ended, the truth of your relationship, or the closure you may think you need. Life doesn't give you a handbook of answers and half the time life doesn't make sense, which is when you put it in the past. You need to learn to let it go, start a new chapter and move on. You need to realize that the good times you had together don't cancel out the bad. You need to realize that the scenarios and memories you consistently play back in your head are not a once in a lifetime thing, and you will meet someone else who will put those so called 'good memories' to shame.

So to the girls that are struggling with a break-up, the ones who get screwed over, the girls who care too much about a silly boy who doesn't deserve them, seriously, get over it, and I mean that in the nicest way possible. They aren't worth your time, conversations, energy or late night thoughts. Just think, at one point in your life you didn't know them. You once lived life every single day without them and you can live without them again. You don't have to hate them or regret it, because how could you regret something you once wanted? You just need to stop hanging on and accept what you can't change, because that is the only way you will be able to have a new beginning. Everything takes time, but you're wasting yours if you don't get over it.


Know you are not alone,

A girl who's over it

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.
