Just Because I'm Quiet, Doesn't Mean I'm Sad

For the people that think they know you better then you know yourself.

Just Because I'm Quiet, Doesn't Mean I'm Sad
Rhiannon Tylutki

It is an interesting experience when someone decides they know you better then you do, and tells you who you are and what you ought to be. If darkness is your only companion, you wouldn't know it to be dark. It would simply be natural and a normal surrounding. It is light which brings awareness to the darkness, and it is a calm which brings way to the storm. If we didn't have a bright tomorrow, we wouldn't know yesterday as dark, and you've never known happiness till you've danced in the rain.

In Poland, the summer rains are warm and quick, and feel as though it were more of a comforting blanket. I think about how there are only a handful of people that I've let into my life, and of those it still feels as though no one really knows me.

I put up walls and a face, and I am exited and loud and energetic... because if I weren't I would be faced with constant questions of what is wrong and why I am sad. When I am quiet, I'm not sad... usually. I'm just thoughtful or trying to relax. But I have to put up this sassy, happy front, because if I don't and I just want to read a little everyday, its as if I'm depressed. I'm not. I'm just an introvert, no matter how loud or relatively comfortable I am making a fool of myself in front of random people I do or do not know. It makes no difference, I am still introverted, and I still have to be alone to regenerate my energy and will to be around people.

Sincerely Yours,

Rajanka T

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.
