You Might Think Astrology Is BS, And You Could Be Right, But It Still Gives Me A Sense Of Community

It's nice to know I'm part of a group of people with issues similar to mine.

I am amazed at the accuracy of my horoscope.

At least four days a week - many times more - it aligns at least a little bit with how I'm feeling, or thinking, or not feeling or thinking. Sometimes I forget to read it in the morning and instead go back to read it at night, and some might say I'm reading what I want to see, trying to find something to validate my day, and maybe I am, but so what? Today it said that my obsessive thinking may be a problem, it could be about work, money, love, time, anything really, but it makes a point to distinguish the difference between thinking about something and obsessing about something. And I most definitely obsess. Since 9 o'clock this morning I've obsessed about different relationships, working, how much my paycheck will be, and whether or not I'll have the capacity to save it. I've obsessed about who I need to call today, what I need to clean, what classwork I need to do, what I'll wear this weekend. I'm exhausted because even though I've been essentially alone - or alone in a crowded lobby studying - all day, I haven't had a single second to myself. These relationships, or lack of relationships, or money, or lack of it has kept me occupied all day, and now at 9:48 p.m., I feel like an elderly lady heading off to bed.

My horoscopes are typically weirdly right, and even though it's probably a coincidence, and has nothing to do with astrology, my sign, or that it's Libra season, it's weirdly comforting to know that someone wrote that, and I got to read it the day that I needed it. Any Scorpio can go to that website read their daily horoscope, and some of them probably thought it was bullshit, but others probably thought it related to them. And even though it probably is bullshit, it's nice to know other people have had obsessive thinking today too.

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.
