It's OK To Wait For Love

Patience is a virtue

Wait; verb:

  • to stay in a place until an expected event happens, until someone arrives, until it is your turn to do something, etc.
  • to not do something until something else happens
  • to remain in a state in which you expect or hope that something will happen soon

As humans, we are incredibly impatient and demanding. We know what we want and we want it now. That's just where the reality sets in; it is okay to wait. Although life passes us by in our minds faster than we like to think, there is no need to rush everything. If you truly believe in something, wait for it.

1. It takes time to build trust; some people are less trusting than others.

The more heartbreak you've been exposed to, the harder it is going to be to let someone in. It's not always true that a new person in your life isn't trustworthy or able to open themselves up to you. If someone makes a mistake, you can't give up on them either; we are all only human. There's no reason to rush through things because great things indeed take time.

2. Sometimes timing isn't right.

Sometimes we aren't ready to get involved in something just yet, even though we want it. The most important thing to do is to find yourself and love yourself before you can expect someone else to love you. If you're too eager and demanding you're going to create a void between you and the one you're after; ultimately, it will amount to nothing.

3. If it's meant to be, it will be.

One of the hardest decisions we have to make is whether to let go or to keep holding on. If you're the one letting go of someone, you're always going to wonder if it was the right move or not. If you're the person being let go, you're always going to wonder if it's time to move on or keep fighting. That decision is fully up to you when you feel it is right; some things are worth waiting for without an explanation.

4. You should always be first.

There comes a time where you have to sacrifice things for your own best interest. If your mind is full of so many things you want and need but you're unable to get there, you need to take a step back and get yourself together before you take someone else with you on that ride.

5. If you don't succeed, don't forget that you tried.

It's always better knowing that you tried rather than always tossing the what if?question inside your head. If you truly give something your all, that is the only thing you can do.

A lot of us are raised to believe that love is something magical and effortless, however, it's not as easy as we'd like it to be. Of course the reasons why people love each other are different from person to person. But love itself remains the same. Anyone can fall in love but people don't fall in love with just anyone; it comes so deep within you that you can't pinpoint the exact reasons why we love certain people. Through the hardships, it is okay to wait until you just know the time is right.

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.
