If Someone Makes You Feel, Let Them

Your happiness should be a priority, right? ;)

Isn’t it something that we often obsess over the relationships we feel are unfinished? We all have someone; Maybe they’re someone you always go back to, someone that just got away, or maybe someone who never got the chance.

Maybe it’s the difference, maybe it’s the distance, maybe as you grow to know them you realize that the two of you are best left as friends... but deep down want to make it out of the friend-zone. They are your guilty pleasure in your mental space. But that does not make them any less important.

“The timing isn’t right”

“It wasn’t meant to be”

The words that find a way to shatter everything inside you within a matter of seconds.

I will never understand how everything can be so perfect; the feeling, the compatibility, the emotion.

If things aren’t meant to be, Why does it feel like it is?

Everything happens for a reason. When it comes to your happiness, is that not worth figuring out?

I have to constantly say to myself, If someone makes you feel, let them. LET IT HAPPEN. You know just as well as I, it’s not always an easy thing to do. But if that person cannot admit that to themselves, throw that on the list of why it's not meant to be.

Actions speak louder than words, and words cannot even hide the connection when they're saying to you that they don't feel it. I’ve learned to trust my gut and the actions of the boys I talk to now, and it’s really helped me weed out the bad ones!

Have you ever met someone, regardless of the situation, the location, the age; and you just felt this strong connection towards them? Whether it was mutual or not, it was there and inside of you and you felt it everywhere.

I beat myself up a lot for not going after things I felt a strong connection towards, if I could go back in time, or if I had a do-over, you best believe I would make things better.

You will never connect the same way with any other person you meet and every person offers you something different. I used to talk to this boy who would say this all the time and I never actually got it, until now.

Not everything is going to make sense, and not everything has an immediate answer as to why it is the way it is, although I know I wish it did. But, for the things that do, try and get that answer. Figure it out.

Things are not always as they appear, and that itself is the most amazing thing in my opinion. So whatever makes you happy, follow it. We feel things for a reason. You owe yourself that. Do something that matters, something that makes YOU happy.

Your happiness should be a priority, right? Make it so!

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.

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.

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.
