Why It's Okay To Be The Girl Who Focuses On Herself

You don't want to be the girl who everyone wants, you want to be the girl who knows what she wants.

You're not being selfish. You're not being narcissistic either. You simply know what you want, and that is time to focus on yourself. Time to learn, grow and enjoy all of the beautiful things that are before you. You don't need a guy. You don't need comfort and reassurance. You have the world at your fingertips and because you know yourself, you know exactly what you desire from it.

1. You deserve happiness.

Because you deserve laughing until you cry, screaming out with pride, singing in the shower, smiling for no reason at all happiness. You should never feel like you have to settle for anything less than exactly that. And there is nothing wrong with focusing on yourself and taking the time to find exactly what brings you that kind of happiness.

2. The people that you spend your time with matter.

We are all so busy. We all give our time to a number of different things. Whenever someone wants to spend their time with you, you appreciate that. You realize how much it means when someone is willing to put time aside in their day just for you. But on the other hand, you expect that same amount of appreciation whenever you do the same. We all really are so busy and there is nothing wrong with being picky about how you spend your time and more importantly, who you spend it with.

3. Being hard to get never hurt anybody.

But we're not talking about playing games here. This is very similar to point two made above. It simply means that you realize that not only is your time valuable but so is everyone else's. You respect other people's priorities and you aren't afraid to establish your own. Your friends are a priority, your job or your education is a priority and most importantly you are your own first priority. And the bottom lines is If someone really wants to spend time with you, than they should be able to make the effort to express that to you.

4. Our passions are our fuel.

It is said time and time again, but life really is too short. It's too short to settle for anything but chasing after your wildest passions. To harness and awaken those dreams that burn deep inside your core. You have the power to change the world, to impact the lives of people around you and make a difference for the causes that you believe in. Never feel silly for chasing after your dreams and using your passions to turn them into a reality, and don't let anyone convince you that you should be doing otherwise.

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.

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.
