For When You're Feeling "Done"
Pinterst

Welcome to the land of disgust.

Filth.

Dirt.

Where everything is real.

All the pain and the hurt.

Real.

Nothing you ever do will be right.

Nothing you ever do will be good enough.

It is where you type your paper and it is deleted.

All your work down the drain.

Where you rush to your car because you're running late to work,

And you're out of gas

Where you're too emotional to have only been on this Earth for twenty years.

Where they don't love you back.

Where they don't love you anymore.

Where you can't sleep but 100 percent of you is expected the next morning.

Where you pour your heart and soul into someone and get a sliver of what you gave them.

Where you have to give away your dog.

Put your cat to sleep and lose your home.

Where you fail a class.

Where you stop going to class.

This is where you'll stop receiving texts, calls, emails-

A dead zone.

Where there will be no reception; Not for you, not for me, not for my passions.

Where you will constantly grieve and morn your losses as you watch the rest of them celebrate.

As you're watching the sky turn from black to orange then pink then blue

And the leaves go from green to brown and back again.

As the sounds change from wind chimes to Christmas carols

As the earth rotates round

You're watching from your eyes as they glance upon you

Just passing you quick enough to see that smile

But never long enough to watch gravity settle in.

You walk past but not fast

Trying to work out the point of it all

A wasteland

Is what it's referred to

But just for you

Because that's what it is like living inside your head.

They say "get out while you can".

I say stay, let people in.

It's a wasteland you see

The storm will come

Wash it away

You'll start anew.

Clean, polished by the rain.

Now whether you end up back here or not,

Well that's your choice my friend.


-- Choose light my friends, even when 'the going gets tough"

Choose to see tomorrow through fresh, clean, polished eyes.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
