Don't settle for a love that leaves you feeling empty when you constantly give a person every piece of your heart.

Don't settle for a love that doesn't fill your entire body with hope and a desire to chase the love that you truly want.

I know that you love him. I know that you've given him your entire heart and in return, he hasn't even given you half of his, but you still choose to stay. You stay because you truly believe that you can change him to be who you are continuously searching for each and every day. You want to be the one to crash down the concrete walls that he's built around his heart. The truth is, you can't change someone who doesn't want to give you his all up front.

Maybe you were slightly lucky and you were able to break down a partial bit of that wall. He gave you all that he wanted to offer to you and if what he offered still left you broken, you shouldn't have to settle for that. You are worth more than he believes that you are.

A lot of people in this world love harder and love deeper and that isn't something that should be considered a bad thing, because it isn't. What it means is that you should find someone who loves you just as equally and someone who makes you feel happy and satisfied with the life that you are living.

Don't settle for someone who can't give you butterflies every time that you see them. Don't settle for someone who makes you feel alone even though you give them your all. Don't settle for less than you are worth.

Stop settling for a half-hearted love when you deserve to be given the best. I know you love him, but you have to learn to let him go. Sometimes leaving is the best thing that can happen to you. Find someone who uplifts you and not someone who downgrades everything that you do. You deserve the world. Take the chance to find it.

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.

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.
