Don't Second Guess That Text Message Or Phone Call

You could be someone's saving grace.

Don't Second Guess That Text Message Or Phone Call
Next Home Realty

It all happens: we have our crappy days. You had a rough day at work, people won't stop blowing up your phone and you just feel off. A kid can't catch a break around here! You go to bed, hoping for a better day tomorrow, but you just can't seem to shake your funk. What do you do? You feel stuck! And then, what seems like a miracle occurs.

You receive a text message from someone that says, "I just want to let you know you are special" or "Hey! Thinking about you! I hope you are doing OK. You are great." Um, OK? Is this a sign from someone? Or is this person just that amazing? That one text simply brightens your spirit. You are shown love, whether it was through a phone or not. But someone cares about you. Your saving grace.

This happened to me this weekend. I got a text from someone on a rough day. It was right as I hopped in bed and started thinking about my day, and bam. I got a text. How did they know I needed to hear those words? How did they know I was in a funk and needed this? It's powerful. I asked my friend. He said they had an "urge" to text me. We have always connected on a spiritual level, so he told me that God told him I needed a friend that night. He came as my light, and support for the night. It simply gives me the chills. Thank you, my dear friend.

After this experience, and the impact it had on me, I am asking you to not deny that urge to text or talk to someone. You never know, they may be desperately crying for help and you may be their light in a dark tunnel.

Perhaps you get an urge to text someone that you ended things on a bad note with, but you feel as though you can't text them because things are rocky. I am in this situation too. I am guilty of resisting the nudge. And guess what? I don't like it one bit. Please. Reach out to someone that you haven't talked to in years or feel the need. It will be worth it.

My friend was telling me that his biggest challenge is to resist the urge to he gets with strangers. You may experience this too sometimes. You feel a strong urge to tell someone you like their outfit, or that they have a nice smile, but we stop! We hesitate because society has made it so this is "weird" to do. Oh? It's strange to be kind, compliment someone and show them the love that everyone deserves? Hm. This is news to me!

We are all put on this Earth for a reason. For some it's to be a doctor, or a teacher, or maybe a coach. But we all have the ability of to be a listener, a shoulder to lean on, and most importantly, to be a friend.

Remember, you are loved and there is always someone thinking about you, even when you think there isn't.

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.
