Your Twenties Are For Falling In Love

Life is meant to be loved.

Your Twenties Are For Falling In Love
Keely K. Studios

Everyone and their brother has something to say about the love life of a twenty-year-old. What it should be, what it shouldn't be, and Heaven forbid they fall for them. But what many tight laced nimwads (shout out to the nosey neighbors) don't realize is that...

Your twenties are the time to fall in love.

Whether you're head over heels for the person whom you will spend the rest of your life with, or just enthralled with the concept of the unknown, your twenties are the time to workout your heart. Your twenties should encourage freedom, happiness, and the continuous drive to be more.

You should be falling in love with so many people and concepts during this decade. Fall in love with individuality, and the art of being who you are, and bettering yourself along every step of the way. Fall in love with cities, with the diversity of people that you may have no common connection with -- love them anyway. Fall in love with characteristics, recognizing what you admire in people and how you wish to exemplify the same ideals. Fall in love with discovery, and the realization that you can choose to soak up information without ceasing.

Your heart should be full of songs, books, and inspiration. Never stopping to rest one day, or staying under the covers the next, your twenties are for you. They're for molding your heart and filling it with moments -- with love -- that will only propel you forward.

Your twenties are for falling in love with the memories you're making. For finding coffee shops and breathing in the atmosphere, then running in the park. For putting yourself out there, and learning what you're really made of. These are the years that you can dabble, run, and change your mind -- all in the same day. So why wouldn't you? Your twenties present you with an energy, an opportunity, and a soundtrack full of your favorite hits -- you can fall in love and never look back.

Your twenties are for falling in love with the promise of tomorrow. Your twenties are for falling in love with the notion that no matter what happens today, you can choose how you look at the future. You may cry and laugh and call your mom -- you may, hopefully, fall in love.

Your twenties are for falling in love with life. They're for sweet moments between friends, late evenings, early mornings, intense debate, good food, overwhelming confusion and simple bliss. You may be falling in love differently than the person next to you, yet you're falling in love nonetheless. Your twenties are for filling your heart -- it's up to you, and no one else, how you do that.

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.
