Don't Use Sex To Define The Relationship
Holly Hock Life

Growing up in this generation, you hear a lot of girls say, "I'll just have sex with him, then I'll know if I really love him." Ladies, don't use sex to define the relationship. You shouldn't define your love for someone based on how they are in bed. You should fall in love with someone because they are your best friend and the thought of one minute with out them breaks your heart. Fall in love with someone who will watch chick flicks with you when you're sad. Fall in love with someone who will push you to be the best you can be no matter what. Fall in love with someone who doesn't mind listening about your day. Find someone who will be your best friend and your boyfriend.

You miss out on so much when you base your entire relationship off sex. It takes all of the emotion out of it. To have intimate love, you need intimacy and to have intimacy, you need love. They both go hand in hand, so trust me when I say that you're not going to find what you're looking for out of a pointless hookup.

Sex is a phenomenal thing, but it is meant to be between two people who love each other.

Ladies, you need to love yourself. You need to understand that you are absolutely amazing, and you don't need a guy to tell you that. And you don't need to have sex to prove to anyone that you're worth it. I know you're worth it and so do you. So don't give it up for someone who doesn't care about you.

You deserve to be loved for who you are, and how amazing you can be. Don't let some low life tell you that you're defined by whether you have sex or not. Don't waste your time on people that aren't looking out for your best interest. Because once you find that one person that you know you love, and they love you, it is going to be the most amazing feeling of your entire life.

Relationships take time, don't rush right into sex, learn about each other. Find out what their favorite song is, watch their favorite movie with them and watch their eyes light up at their favorite part, I promise that once you get to know them, it will all be worth it.

Just remember, don't waste your time trying to use sex to define The relationship, it won't work.

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.
