Humiliation.

As humans, we all go through some very tough things. Some worse than others, but pain still exists. Wether you are humiliated because you were called out on something you were doing, or wrongfully humiliated, it never fails to hurt. A lot.

Me, as someone who has experienced this... A LOT I am telling you, although it may hurt, the thing that will heal you is how you handle it.

Yes yes I know, "how you handle each situation is key" is something that we are told all the time. But once you lose all your friends, get embarrassed i front of the entire school, had everything you once thought would be around forever stripped away from you, it's hard to understand how your reaction has an affect on your mind.

You feel as if nothing worse could happen... So what's the point in being the bigger person, or staying kind? You've already lost everything. You're dealing with this situation all in your own, you literally could care less on who you hurt while you are hurting.

It's so hard to be the bigger person when something like this happens. When you're "best friends" betray you. It's so hard.

The first thing you need to do... is admit to yourself what has happened. Everyone around you is talking about it, everyone else has already process what has happened.. Admit what has happened.

Once you admit you're embarrassed and stop putting on the "i don't care what they say or think, i'm fine." face, you will start healing. It is probably the hardest thing to do. To be vulnerable enough to realize that. You will probably be crying for hours, being broken. Genuinely. Shut it feels better to not put up a front that you used as a defense mechanism. "I don't care." Yes, yes you do. And that's okay.

Stay to yourself for a while. When you get humiliated, you really do find out who the real ones are. Find those people, rely on them. Let them help you. Find yourself. Go on a trip or even just go watch the sunset in your hometown. Process your thoughts and realize how valid your emotions are.

You are strong, and will get out of this very painful experience. You always feel like it will never end. But once it does, you will be high on life. You will be stronger, and know your worth.

Grow from your pain, be the bigger person. Feel your emotions. Prove to those who hurt you that you have never needed them and never will.

You will be okay❤️

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.
