Embracing My "Too's"

I am too much of a lot of things, but it makes me who I am

Embracing My "Too's"
Erin Thoresen

These are my "too's..."

I am too forgetful.

A very common nickname of mine is Dory -- if the shoe fits, right? I can be halfway through a story and totally forget I was even talking. I walk across the house for something and go back to my room empty handed. I close out my phone because of a distraction and forget to respond to that text message I opened. I forget due dates sometimes and I even forget what day it is. I am too forgetful and that's OK.

I am too forgiving.

You could punch me square in the face for no reason at all and I would still find a way to justify your doing so. I have let people walk all over me who were friends of mine and was okay with it because they didn't mean to hurt me or I was scared to let them go. People think they can get away with doing wrong to me because I'll put up with it. I let people back in my life that don't deserve it. I am too forgiving and that's OK.

I am too loving.

I give my heart out to everyone I come in contact with. I love people which is why I am going into the medical field. I care about every living soul on this planet and do anything I can to help anyone. I let people in my heart that are only out to hurt me. But when I find someone in my life worth loving, they're loved more than anyone will ever feel again. I am too loving and that's OK.

I am too passionate.

I put my heart and soul into everything I do. My work isn't complete until it's perfect. I can't sleep if there's someone who doesn't know how I feel about them. I have no problem pouring out my feelings. I value true friendships over popularity. And I get hurt from this quality, a lot. I am too passionate and that's OK.

I am too honest.

Ask me what my problem is with you and I won't hesitate to tell you. Ask my opinion on a certain topic and I won't hold back any details. I am too honest and that's OK.

I am too adventurous.

I never turn down a trip or adventure. I am the first to do something simply out of craving adrenaline. I never stop moving and never want to be home. I get bored in routines and try to make fun out of everything I do. I am too adventurous and that's OK.

I am too inquisitive.

I am always asking questions and can never learn enough. If something doesn't have a reason, I can't wrap my mind around it. If I am told to do something, I want to know why and how I am of importance. I love fun facts that will never further me in life unless I am on a game show. I love knowledge of the world and how things work. I like being able to find reason and meaning to things. I am too inquisitive and that's OK.

I am too competitive.

I always have to win and if I don't win, I want a rematch. Everything turns into a competition to me because that just makes it more fun! I don't like playing sports that make a fool of me but if I do, I will pick it up real quick. I am too competitive and that's OK.

These are just a few things I am too much of. I have a big, yet careless, heart. I'd give the shirt off my back to a complete stranger and I have been hurt by the same people too many times. I make mistakes a few times before I learn and always ask questions. This is who I am. I am proud of being "too..."

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
