Change Is A Part Of Life, And We Must Try To Enjoy Every Second Of It

Don't be sad that it's over, be happy that it happened.

Change Is A Part Of Life, And We Must Try To Enjoy Every Second Of It
Savanna Stevie

I have two sisters, and recently all three of us have gone through a breakup. Even though each of our relationships lasted for different periods of time, we all still felt the pain that comes with heartbreak. Luckily, we have each other to lean on during these difficult times. All three of us are being given a change in our lives and how we go about this changing process will determine where we go from here. Point A is where we stand right now, picking up the pieces of our hearts and Point B is where we long for, our hearts whole again and ready for love.

How we get to Point B is a great question. For some people, they spend their entire lives trying to figure out how to find their true happiness, but that is because they are looking in all the wrong places. Happiness isn't hidden in secret spots that are impossible to find, it's actually right in front of our faces. It's all around us, in the people we meet, the places we go, and the things that we do. I know we all probably wish that we could pick up our happiness and put it in our pocket to keep forever, but sadly that isn't how it works. Gaining happiness is how we go about every day. If you wake up thinking it's going to be the worst day ever, then it probably will be, but if you wake up and try to enjoy all the things around you, even if they are small, you will soon realize that happiness is always within our reach.

When your heart is broken and you are trying to put all the pieces of it back together, finding your happiness may seem harder, but that is just an illusion. We put up a front that makes it harder to let good things in, but if you just clear your mind and get back into a good headspace you'll see that your happiness isn't so far away after all.

Going back to my sisters and I, even though we might not think it now, this change we are being put through may be the best thing for us. After several years, all three of us are single again. This is our time to get closer with each other and with ourselves. There is nothing holding us back anymore and I think that is exciting. We now get to make our own memories to reminisce on and watch ourselves grow as a person. Change is a crazy thing and it can be very scary to go through at times, but it's also a magical experience. One day you look back and are able to see how far you've come.

During our lifetime, we will meet many different people and we will also lose people who we were once close with, but that's all part of the process. You can't grow as a person without change and those who we lose through the process just weren't meant to be with us through it all, but there are plenty of people who we have yet to meet that will stick with us until the end. We can't be sad that a part of our life is over, we must be happy that it happened.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
