You have to learn when to walk away.

How You Made Me Realize I Deserved Better Than Our 'Relationship'
Nikki Beverage

Have you ever met someone and the second you met them you instantly were hooked on them? Every word they said, everything they did - it just seemed to bring out a different side of you. You were that person to me. You came into my life and made me realize that everything I had been looking negatively on, I didn't have to anymore - because you had me convinced you were there for me through everything and I loved the feeling that comfort gave me. You gave me a feeling of security and caring that I hadn't had in a while, and you gave off an honest vibe, which I learned later I was completely wrong about.

You came in and completely changed my world, you changed my outlooks on everything and I don't think you even realize the impact you had on my life. You changed my view on relationships, and now I don't know if it was for the better or for worse. At one time you had convinced me to be a believer in love again, and after our story played out, I don't know if it's so true. You treated me better than anyone ever has treated me, until you just didn't. It's like you flipped a switch one day and chose to forget all about me.

I let you come into my life, I told you stories, showed you places and things that I haven't shown anyone. I cared about you in a way I've never cared about anyone else and listened to every word that ever came out of your mouth. I tried to so hard to "fix" us when things went wrong, but things never got any better because you never wanted them to get better, you just didn't want to feel bad about yourself when you went to bed at night. I let myself become so vulnerable to you, and you didn't deserve it.

I was there for you whenever you wanted to vent about something, I was understanding about things that I should've questioned more - because things I see now, you weren't honest with me at all, I was the girlfriend you described wanting all of your life - but yet it wasn't enough for you. You didn't deserve any of it, but yet I still tried.

Never again will I put myself on a level to care about you like I once did, and never again will I let myself be taken advantage of by someone who doesn't appreciate me as a person. I will never in my lifetime stay silent about something, or someone that is bothering me again because my trust in you was too high. You did not respect me in a relationship, and that's a personal issue.

Contrary to what you might think after reading this, I don't think you're a bad person. I've truly seen the good in you when it comes to your family and people who you actually consider to be friends. Relationships just aren't your strong suit, and that is something you have to work on if you ever want one to work out like you claim you do. What I hope you gain from this is how you hurt me, and you'll never be able to mend the hurt that has been caused from this - but to learn from your mistakes and try to do better next time. Don't ever treat someone else like you've treated me.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
