There's those people, you know the ones - they're magical, sunshine, vomiting happiness and joy at 5-8am on a daily basis.

Then there's the rest of us that cannot even bear the bane of human existence until several hours after we get up. It's not our fault that we don't love the world the second we open our eyes, it is just how we work.

So please, for the love of all good things - learn to understand us!

1. Don't speak before we do - unless it's dire

Non-morning person... I feel like this information speaks for itself, so please just let us have some silence before you engage in conversation. Blood, death & severe catastrophes are appropriate times to speak before we do.

2. Don't assume there's something wrong with us

I promise that there's nothing wrong with us, we just aren't rays of sunshine. Asking us if there's something wrong just furthers that we look unpleasant in the morning and you're making a big deal about it.

3. Wait for us to finish our routine

Like anyone, there's a method to the madness. Let the madness complete itself before you're trying to stab yourself in the mix. Dear gawds LET US FINISH

4. Seriously, Leave us be

We don't want to talk about your problems at 8am, Ok? It's too early for that nonsense - and we already (usually) have to be on our way to work to deal with those people so pleaseeee just let us be.

5. We don't want to go to the gym at 4 am... EVER

Don't ever invite us to the gym if the sun isn't even awake. Hard pass. Hard no. Just... Don't. K thanks 🔥

6. Caffeine is a must - if you're going to speak to us

Whether it be Coffee, Tea, Energy Drink, or Soda/Pop - please dear gawd let us drink them before you open your mouth. We will thank you, and you will thank our caffeine. PRAISE THE CAFFEINE!

7. Don't touch the bedroom curtains if you want to live

You remember that scene is “X" movie where that person throws open the dark curtains to let in the GLORIOUS sunshine? DON'T DO THAT! Not only are we cranky humans, we are basically allergic (metaphorically, usually) to the sun and it's horrible brightness first thing.

8. Silence is key

We prefer silence (until we don't, you feel me?) - just a simple run-of-the-mill morning that includes no talking, probably a shower & definitely some well-needed caffeine.

9. Bed is our first friend

There's a reason we are comfortable, with the shades drawn and the comfy set. Our bed comes first a foremost before anything. In fact - it takes a lot of us extraneous energy to even get out of them.

10. Our brains are only working at 1/2% before 9 AM

I'm not fully functioning before 9 am. It's like my brain refuses to fully operate until I get the necessary shower/sleep. Most of us operate in this manner. Just know that we are trying - albeit it's probably not working very well, BUT we are trying. We aren't all there fam - bear with us 🤷🏼♀️🙃

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
