To The Girl Wondering Why She Wasn't Enough

You tried. You gave it your all, and it still wasn't enough.

To the girl wondering why she wasn't enough for him: Stop.

You probably did everything you possibly could have done to make things work: sacrificing every ounce of who you are to make him happy. You tried. You gave it your all, and it still wasn't enough. Every fiber in your body wanted him to be the one, but he isn't. Now you're left wondering why...wondering why you weren't enough...

Stop.

Stop asking yourself why your actions weren't enough for him or why you weren't good enough. It's not true. You are enough. Just because you were on different pages with him, doesn't mean you'll never be on the same page as someone else.

It's not the end of the book, just the end of a chapter; turn your page.

It is not your place to ask these questions. Nobody has the answer: not your family, not your friends, not him, and not you. Nobody has the answers to our break up questions because we weren't meant to understand. All you need to understand is that you put your love into someone who wasn't ready, and that is okay. The fact that he didn't feel the same way about you forever isn't something worth worrying about. It is something to relish in and be thankful you weren't stuck giving someone your 100% when they couldn't even give you 50%.

Instead of allowing yourself to drown in your own self-pity, be grateful. Be grateful he broke your heart because clearly, he was not the one. No matter how much you believed him to be or desperately wanted him to be, he wasn't.

And now you're free to accept the love you deserve.

Let him be him. Take these moments of heartache and let you be you.

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.
