Don't Be Afraid To Say What You Want

Be outspoken; be heard.

It seems to be, that the more a person is "outspoken," the more he/she is ridiculed for it. It seems as if people don't like the fact that there are people who will gladly say whatever it is that they want, whenever they want. It's almost as if people are afraid of being told the truth about things they don't want to know the truth for.

Being outspoken isn't ever a bad thing, in most opinions it's a great feature to have, because then people can always rely on you to tell them the truth in the way that they should be hearing it. To have a friend that will gladly tell you like it is, i great because then you will never have to worry about someone saying it behind your back. To be told that what you're doing is idiotic, or that the outfit you're wearing is hideous, is never the nicest thing to hear, but it can be one of the best things that someone can tell you. We all seem to become blind to the little things that we do, and to have someone call us out on all of these things is the best thing that we can have. Some seem to not agree withe people just saying whatever it is that's on their mind, but the people that say whatever they want will be the most sincere and caring people that you will ever meet. They may not always say the most "PC" things, and you will definitely not always agree with what is said, but hearing it will always get you thinking about things.

Don't be afraid to say what is on your mind. There is a correct way to go about saying what you want to say, not saying that you should just blurt out words and opinions. Just, let people know how you feel, don't be afraid to hide something from others. If you're upset with someone, let them know politely. If you have romantic feelings for someone, let them no and have no regrets. Living in the shadows because you're afraid of everything that will come to light, is never a way to live life. Be known, be out there, be you, because being yourself is the best self that you can be.

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.
