In A Perfect World

In A Perfect World

Sometimes when you have a bad day it is easy to wish a lot of things in your life were different. A lot of times you get hard on yourself and wish that the world was a little "less-sucky". So here's what life would maybe seem like in a perfect world.

In a perfect world you would get out of bed every morning and not look like you were hit by a truck. You would wake up with straight hair and a fresh complexion like a Disney Princess. You could roll out of bed and throw on a sweater and pump some T-Swift and just be flawless.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world you could eat all the guac and chips you wanted and never gain a pound. You could eat Taco Bell, McDonald's, and wings all in a day and never get fat--or a tummy ache.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world he would message you back like it was his job. He'd know you were interested and not leave you on read every single night. You would be loved so much and you'd be on top of the world. He'd compliment you and take you out on Fridays. He would kiss your forehead just because he loves you.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world no one would ever leave you. Your best friend wouldn't decide that the world no longer needs them. That boy you talked to for 3 months wouldn't all of a sudden decide that you are no longer relevant. That girls dad wouldn't have walked out on the family when she was starting high school.

The world isn't a perfect place.

So what though? We all know the life can suck sometimes and it would be nice for things to be 100% perfect but how fun would that be?

If something would have been just slightly different from what it is now, your life would be so much different. And it would have changed your perfectly imperfect self.

•.• •

In this imperfect world you wake up every morning with a lion's mane of hair, a shiny face, and morning breath. But someday someone will love you even more when you look that way.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world you ate a whole bag of potato chips and maybe had McDonald's twice today. Your little bit of extra chunk only makes your curvy jeans look that much better for date night right? And besides--you'll workout tomorrow... Or the next day.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world he left you on read last night when you finally confessed your feelings. You mope around for a month or so and finally move on, only then do you find someone new who understands all your awkwardness and loves it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world they left you. They left you alone crying in the bathroom at 2 A.M. They left you at the football field wondering how the last 6 months meant absolutely nothing. They left you and the rest of your family to figure out life without them. But eventually you move on and eventually you turn into a stronger person because of it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

• • •

You in your entirety make up an amazing and imperfect human being and there will never be anyone else quite like you. So the next time you wish life were working out a little bit better, just remember that the world is not perfect, and that's okay. It doesn't have to be.

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.

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.
