I Have Changed And That Is Okay

A lot of people tell me I have changed and they are right I have

I Have Changed And That Is Okay

I am typically not the one who enjoys a change. I like things to stay the same. Change makes me anxious. But I am going to admit I have changed a lot as a person over the past few months and that is okay.

I have had a lot of people look at me and say "you have changed" and sometimes I don't know if they mean it in a good way or a bad way but, that does not really matter. Some people look at me and do not even recognize me. They are not used to the person I have became. I feel as though I have changed for the better. I have grown up more, I don't care what people think anymore, I am more open about my beliefs, and I don't let people run over me anymore. I go out more and hangout with my friends more. I am way more outgoing and I have broken out of my shell that I was stuck in for so long. I am more care free.

I have been through a lot in the past (almost) year. I moved away to school, then I came back. I started back school at a new university. I moved out on my own. I found out I was cheated on. I got my heart broken. I had to let go of the love of my life. All of these things can make a person change and, this is definitely true for me.

I am so grateful for my change however. I feel so much better as a person. And now I am not as scared of change. I know I can handle change now and that all change is not bad.I don't crave stability as much as I used to. I realize now that life is always changing and you just have to roll with it.

Through every thing I have grown and changed into a stronger and healthier person. I have a more positive outlook on life as well.

So, yes I have changed and that is okay. No I am not the same person as I used to be but, I still have the same morals. A lot of people tend to think that I just like to party now and go out but, I really don't. Yes I have more fun now but, I still have a good head on my shoulders and I still have my priorities straight.

Going through a lot of tough times will make you change as a person. But through it all you will come out being a better person I believe.

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.
