I Got Hit By a Bus

My metaphorical way of saying shit happens

I Got Hit By a Bus

I have the best diet tip in the world. Stress. I literally never eat anything unless I have to. I'm diabetic. And I'm pretty sure death isn't knocking on my door anytime soon. Life is a very funny thing, you're living by a script you didn't create and putting together chapters you don't have any control over. Life has a way of kicking you in the teeth and unless you're interested in masochism, it doesn't feel so great. I know what it feels like to feel worthless. To think that you're entire life is defined my something big, or big by your perception. I live in a constant world of "you're not good enough". What gets me is when people think you say those things or act that way because you're asking for attention. Truth be told, I hate attention. I'd rather be a wallflower, hell the picture frame that no one bothers to notice. The one that collects dust. Call me crazy but the more people notice, the more they realize how flawed you are. How unintelligent you are. You're not pretty enough, or skinny enough. The constant state of berating yourself. I know what that's like. I don't judge because I understand. I don't belittle because I used to get that. And I don't hate because I know how it feels. So I live a robotic life with a perfectionist setting, trying hard not to step out of line. I walk the straight and narrow path so that I am never seen breaking a sweat. Do you know how hard it is to try to be perfect, to aim for the sun but constantly getting stuck on the moon. To try your best only to continue getting rejected. Maybe you do, because that's life. And life is never quite fair, rather a Shakespearean play with rare happy endings. I'm just waiting on mine.

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.
