Self-sabotage. I think we have all done it at one point or another in our lives. Some of us do it way more than others, and some of us are not even aware that we are doing it until after the fact. I happen to be someone who does not realize I am doing until I am looking back on the conversation. I have the tendency to stand in my own way when it comes to relationships, and if you are reading this, you probably do that to. I start unnecessary fights. I bring up unnecessary potential problems and treat is as a right now problem when it does not even need to be a problem right now, and it might not ever become a problem, but for some reason I am over here freaking out about it and letting it cause problems in my relationship with a potential significant other. I don't know why it is something I do, but I just do it, and I'm sick of self-sabotaging good relationships with guys, and you should be too. You should be sick of standing in your own way, just like I am.

Maybe you feel as if you are too much, not enough, too flawed, or too undeserving of being loved. You are so wrong. You are deserving of so many great and wonderful things, you just need to let yourself have it. Maybe you do not understand your own self-worth and how wonderful you are. All those negative things you tell yourself are part of the reason you self-sabotage, and all those things are things that you would never say to a friend. You would never tell your friend that they are not enough or that they don't deserve to be loved. So, why is it okay for you to say those things to yourself?

You deserve a great big love, and you are not going to get that if you are always standing in your own way, always picking fights, and always letting maybe problems become right now problems. You are worthy of being loved, but please stop self-sabotaging yourself.

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.
