To The Girl Who Is Always Busy

I am slowly accepting the truth. That I am not superwoman.

To The Girl Who Is Always Busy

You probably don't have time to read this article. There are about 18 other things you need to be doing right now but for some reason, you're scrolling through facebook, taking quizzes, reading articles, and catching up on who is in the latest Facebook official relationship.

I am also the always busy girl but I somehow make time for the above.

My friends have asked me how am I always busy on too many occasions. And honestly, I am not sure. I have to check my planner when someone asks me to hang out with them. I have things scheduled out to the hour and not much time for leeway. But, I like being the busy girl. I think sometimes that I would like to have nothing to do, but who really wants nothing to do? You could be out making memories and meeting new people. I complain about being busy, but really I wouldn't have it any other way. Sometimes, it is nice to have nothing to do but somehow, even then, I find myself starting a new project.

I had a teacher that told me once that I couldn't do everything. That I needed to learn how to say 'no' to things I knew I wouldn't have time for. That's the problem, though, I think I can do it all. You need me to make up a routine or take pictures of the upcoming football game while I am cheering, no problem. For the longest time, I thought I had these abilities to do all and to do all well.

I took my teacher's advice and honestly it is hard to say no. I want to be involved and make people's lives easier by helping them out. I need a few more of me to do all things in my daily schedule. But that's not a possibility.

I am slowly accepting the truth. That I am not superwoman. That it is okay to decline a few things now and then. But always say yes to a night out with your BFFs because those are the nights you realize what being young is all about. It is about staying on top of your school work and meeting deadlines.

But it is also about making a few mistakes and learning a few too many lessons.

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.

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.
