Instead, Be "That Girl"

Whichever girl you choose to be, choose with confidence in that choice.

Instead, Be "That Girl"
www.sheramag.com

Urban dictionary's definition of "that girl" is a "female in a social situation that purposefully draws attention to herself, usually resulting in being that girl that is disliked."

Girls are known for tearing each other down rather than building each other up. It's almost a stereotype that girls are automatically crazy jealous of each other or just not friendly. Living in a society like this, rather than being "that girl" that is trying to draw negative attention to herself, be "that girl" that draws positive attention to herself.

Don't be the girl who is never happy for anyone else. Instead, be that girl that is always happy for others.

When someone is happy with something or someone in their life, who are you to tell them they can't be? Sure, you can disagree with some of their decisions that they are making, but that doesn't mean you should try to take their happiness away from them. If someone is happy, let them. No one wants to be around that girl who is just never happy for anyone. If you're happy for others, they will be happy for you. Being happy for other people will just radiate happiness into your life and who doesn't want that?

Don't be that girl that can't let go of the past. Instead, be that girl that accepts her past and moves on.

Let me start off by saying, that we have all gone through hardships. Some people's hardships are harder than others and it is unfortunate. However, if you live in the past, you will never move on to your future. Like the saying goes, "You can't start the next chapter of your life if you keep re-reading your last one." Which I can agree with 100 percent. Stop dwelling on all the negative experiences in your life and focus on better things that are ahead. It's okay to grief in different ways. Everyone needs to be able to express themselves, but in a healthy manner. Don't unintentionally bring yourself down by constantly trying to relive your dark past.

Don't be that girl that tries to please everyone. Instead, be that girl that pleases herself.

This is something that I struggle with because I often put other's before myself. Sometimes it's hard to put yourself first, but it's necessary. You will never please everyone, so make yourself happy. Be proud of your accomplishments and don't let the people around you stop you from chasing after what you want.

Whichever girl you choose to be, choose with confidence in that choice. You deserve to wake up every day and either be happy or the opposite with the choice you have made, so choose wisely.

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.

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.
