Dear Cupid, Are You There?

I'm starting to give up on you...

Dear Cupid, Are You There?

Dear Cupid,

Where the hell are ya? I'm approaching my 20th Valentine's Day and I'm still alone. What is the sitch? You seem to have missed me when you went and shot your little arrows into everyone else. My friends, my cousins, even my little sister!?!? They've all had their turn finding someone and falling in love and then there's me. Seemingly forever single.

I ponder all the reasons why you may have skipped over me. Do I smell bad? I shower pretty often, use deodorant and even use perfume! So I don't think it's that. Is it because I cry too much? Because I could probably tone that down too if it would mean an arrow would come my way. Maybe it's because I'm an awful cook. But I do make a dank grilled cheese!! Come on, that has to count for something! But seriously, where the hell are you....enough is enough.

Sometimes it really sucks. Ya know, being single and stuff.

But guess what, according to everyone in a relationship ever, "It'll happen when you least expect it!!!!!!" Well friends, I've been "least expecting it for about a year now. Still not happening. So now I'm writing a letter to Cupid, maybe this letter will grab his attention a little and something good will come my way.

This has been a good year for me! I deleted all my dating apps (see ya Tinder and Bumble), because the guys on there are looking for one thing, and it's not exactly PG. I've sat in all the little cute coffee shops hoping someone will slide their number my way, but no such luck. And I can't meet anyone in class because I have the same people in every class. I guess I'm just an unlucky gal.

I think I've come to the conclusion that I have 7 years bad luck from breaking that mirror that time. That's a thing right? So no wonder why I'm single and alone and writing this pointless letter to Cupid. Because I broke that freakin' mirror.

Well you know what Cupid? SCREW YOU. I may regret that in a year when I'm still single but until then, I've had enough of your crap. Who says that you get to determine everything? I did nothing bad to you! Yet you seem to skip me every single time. I'm done. Enough. This year WILL be my year, whether or not you come my way.

To all my single friends out there, don't get too down this Valentine's Day. Being in a relationship, or having a significant other does not determine your self-worth. Treat yourself this February 14th, go on a dinner date with a friend, stay in bed, eat chocolate, watch your favorite t.v. show, go to the gym and get some of that angst out on the track! Head to the local club and bust some moves to get that serotonin flowing! You are beautiful just the way you are, independent, brave, and sexy af and you don't need a Valentine to be loved! Your friends love you, your family loves you, and your dog most definitely loves you. That sounds like enough love for me.

Plus, love can be kind of icky.


Moral of the story, love yourself. Cupid is silly, and you don't need a Valentine to be loved. It's just one silly day, and it'll all be over on the 15th. Chin up, smile. Everyone's time will come, and if mine doesn't, I'm totally okay adopting 5 dogs from the local shelter. Anyways, Cupid, it would be nice if you headed my way soon, if not, that's okay too.

Happy Valentine's Day<3

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.
