An Open Letter To Myself: Move On
Quotefancy

Dear me,

What's going on? You have priorities and you have goals. I know you. I know you want things and yet here you are, all wrapped up in your fantasies, over a guy that you liked during your senior year of high school. Really?

What's wrong with you?

You're in college. You should've moved on. He doesn't like you. He never did and we both know that. Okay, I'll give you some slack. You didn't know for sure. But to be fair, you could have. You could've taken initiative, you could've asked him out, hell, you've literally annoyed the crap out of your friends to seek what limited advice they had since both of them were single.

Just move on.

For some reason, you actually hoped that somehow he felt the same toward you. So what if he told you that he liked one of your poems? So what if he doesn't ignore you when you text him despite the fact that he's totally fed up with you? So what if he liked a few things on Facebook? He was just being nice! He probably felt sorry for you. I don't know why you didn't have any problems back then, or did you?

Move on.

Couldn't you read the signs? You started the conversations mostly. You asked him to homecoming, only to find that he was taking someone else. You asked him to play a duet with you on an upcoming recital only to have him turn you down. Youcould've asked him to go to prom, too, but you assumed, like last time, that he'd take someone else. But instead, he was watching "Titanic" alone on a Saturday night.

Move on.

Senior year is over. High school is done. He moved elsewhere. He's going to college. He's serving his mission. He obviously has priorities of his own. You cease to exist.

Move on.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
