Don't Run Back To What Broke You

Your past is your past for a reason.

Don't Run Back To What Broke You

The person who broke you cannot be the one to fix you. Remember that. Sometimes in a moment of weakness we want to fall back to what is familiar. It's so easy to do it, but don't. You may be sitting in your room at night, alone, wondering where it all went wrong. You may be missing them, but don't succumb to the loneliness.

No matter how much they claim they change, don't go back. People will tell you what you want to hear. Even if you decided to give them another chance, things won't ever be the same. The beginning of the relationship was really good, and you may never have that again. If you take them back, they may hide who they really are to trap you in. They may act like they have changed, and they may do or say anything for you to believe them. Hard times bring out the worst in people, and you will realize one day, they in fact never changed. You still love them, but you need to realize, you don't love them, you love the idea of them. You are not weak for wanting to go back and thinking they have changed.

Your past is your past for a reason. If you want a new and better life, you cannot go looking for it in your past. Moving backwards will only increase the time it takes you to move forward. You can't continue to go backwards and be with people who are meant to be in your past, if you want to move forward. You had a good reason to let go of the person. Some people just aren't meant to be together, and that's okay.

You are worth so much more. You are worth more than being with someone who hurts you time after time. You are worth more than someone who drags you down constantly. You deserve to be with someone who brings out the best in you. You deserve to be in a happy, healthy relationship. You deserve the very best, and nothing less.

It's going to be hard to deal with the pain and loneliness. It's going to be hard to not pull out your phone and fall right back into their trap. The pain and loneliness will heal, and you will be okay.

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.
