To The Girl Who Is A Work In Progress
Gina Kuroda

I am here to tell you that there is nothing wrong with not knowing where you are going in life. Sometimes you go through difficult times in your life that make you wonder if you are ever going to make it through. Once you do, you look at yourself, and you have become stronger.

Depending on the challenges you had to face, you lose yourself in overcoming them. You get out of it alive, but you are a little lost. You have lost track of your goals. You have lost track of what is really important. You have neglected those who have always stood by you.

There is a lack of self-awareness that at that point, you have no idea if you are going to get it back or not. You question the world around you because that is what you had to do during your difficult time. At this point, you also have no idea what people have your best interest in mind. You forgot how to trust those you should and learned how to guard yourself in order not to get hurt any more than you have been.

There are so many emotions rolling around in your mind, and you do not know what to do with them. One day you are as happy as can be, and in a flip of a switch, you become a completely different person you do not recognize. You keep asking yourself why this is happening to you. To tell you the truth, I do too. The only explanation that comes to mind is that of what you keep telling yourself. The hurt and pain you went through have only left open wounds that have no timeline of when they will be ready to heal.

At the end of the day, hopefully, you have been taught a lesson through your tough experience. When the day comes and you have completely healed, hopefully, you are able to look at yourself the same way. You deserve the world, and one day you will have it in your hands when you feel confident enough to go out and conquer it.

Once that happens, never again will you see life with the same painful eyes. You will then learn that you are the most amazing person that you can be and nothing can ever change that again.

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.
