It's OK To Be A Loner

I'm a bit of a loner, but that's fine with me.

Socially Awkward. Loner. Homebody. Just some of the words that people seem to start to notice about me when they get to know me a little better. Back then it used to bother me that I'm not like any other girls. But, I value being alone or better yet staying at home rather than going out a lot. Don't get me wrong I have friends and I love them all to death, but I like to keep my circle tight at all times and I value my "me" time. And if you can relate you'll know exactly what I'm talking about:

1. Social Gatherings.

Whether it be a family event or any type of social events can be a good thing for us or a bad thing. I know for a fact that when I get a little overwhelmed, you'll see me retreat in my little space to just collect myself. I mean don't me wrong I love to have fun but sometimes enough is enough.

2. Getting roasted.

I guess you can say that I'm a little boring from time to time. And sometimes my friends will roast me about it and that's OK... I'm completely fine with how I am.

3. Netflix is your baby.

At this point in time, I'm running out of shows to binge watch on Netflix and it's the legit struggle.

4. My major motivates me to be a home buddy.

Being a nursing major is hard. From back to back exams and quizzes, it makes going out or doing anything such a struggle because you have that anxiety inside of you that you just NEED to get your stuff done.

5. SLEEP

I mean who doesn't like sleep?

6. Counting on myself.

If there's anything I learned more about my loner personality, is that at the end of the day you can only count on yourself. I'm sure there are other people that you also count on but they also have things they have to do and a life to live. So gotta learn how to count on yourself.

7. I have friends.

Just because I prefer to do my own thing and being a "loner", doesn't mean that I'm totally anti-social and I hate everyone. I care a whole lot about my friends, family, and even people I may not know that well.

So if you're just like me, don't feel bad. Embrace who you really are and own it!

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.

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.
