Crushing Hesitations About Crushes

I want to start off by reassuring everyone that this isn't a post forcing you into a relationship. It also isn't attributing love to being solely between two people; it may be between you and pizza. Some people are truly happy being single and independent, and there is nothing wrong with that. Rather, I'm hoping to shed some light on people who may be ready for a relationship but have hesitations. Since I am not an expert on this topic, I brought in some well-known artists to help me (and you) out.

1. I'm Crazy!

I'll love you with all the madness in my soul - "Born to Run" by Bruce Springsteen

If Bruce can do it, so can you!

2. I'm too sad a person

And only she chose me when I'm blue - "Only You" by Mac Demarco

Mac Demarco is sometimes sad. But he still has a partner—just look at that adorable smile on his face!


3. I'm too busy for love.

Real love, it finds you somewhere with your back to it - "Real Love" by Beach House

As my mom always says, "Love happens when you're busy doing other things." I'm at college, she sends me cookies. Busy -> cookies -> love

4. I don't have any money

She gives me presents, with her presence alone - "Angel" by Jack Johnson

Chances are, neither do they. Get creative (or cheesy).

5. I'm too nerdy

Since this is the perfect spot to learn, teach me tonight - "Teach Me Tonight" by Frank Sinatra (my favorite version by Amy Winehouse).

Teach someone a little math, learn a little about chemistry

6. No one's strong enough for me.

But what about...

JOHHHHNNNN CENNNNNAAAA!!!! *trumpets blaring*


6. I can't do long distance.

Oh baby there ain't no mountain high enough, Ain't no valley low enough, Ain't no river wide enough, To keep me from getting to you babe - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell.

This song came out before there was even Skype or FaceTime. #noexcuses

Look people. If Kanye West can learn to love someone other than himself, then so can you.

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.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.
