Yes I'm Going Ghost, But This Is Something I Have To Do For Me

We all need distance sometimes.

There are days when people don't want to be bothered. The vibes that are surrounded by them not only trigger isolation but a breather that is vital to their sanity. Life can move faster than our minds sometimes and the only solution for that is separation. This may cause your loved ones and friends to question your loyalty because you've gone ghost, but that's fine. We all need to be selfish sometimes and put ourselves first.

Distance heals the mind, the body, and makes the direction more clear. It's more than beneficial.

1. You can finally relax

If you're like me, you're always on the run. That go-getter mentality is naturally within you but sometimes it's necessary to just have time to actually relax.

2. Focus on what's important

Our minds can easily get bombarded with any and everything. With distance from everyone, we're able to arrange those thoughts and/or ideas that we weren't clear about at first.

3. Learn more about yourself

We never really know ourselves, even if we think we do. We just need to take the time and know more about ourselves that we may not be aware of.

4. Find your purpose

The feeling of being lost has to be the worst feeling ever. Everything that seemed clear is now blurred and that only leads to frustration.

5. You have time now, use it wisely

That agenda that is full of to-do lists, create one distinctly for you.

6. Do something for yourself for once

There's nothing wrong with taking care of others but we need to take care of ourselves as well.

7. Don't feel sorry about it

No one should ever have to apologize for putting themselves first. Even if it means that you have to remove yourself from everything for awhile.

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.
