A Letter To Those Who Feel Broken

Look, I know you feel broken. But it's okay to be broken; everyone is broken. No matter how hard people try to hold themselves together, or how perfect their life may seem, at one point or another, they felt exactly the way you have. They have been broken too. They've been shattered. They've thought it's never going to get better and everything is useless.

But they get up, dust themselves off, and fight harder. So what will you do with your broken pieces? Are you going to sit there and feel sorry for yourself? Or will you fight harder? Because at the end of the day, it's all a choice. You decide what you're going to do with your broken pieces. But most importantly always remember to give it all to God. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. (Psalms 147:3)

I also want you to know that there is beauty in your brokenness and you may wonder what is so beautiful about depression, anxiety, sickness or whatever your case may be. Beauty in brokenness is trusting God and His perfect timing. It is also realizing that when one is broken, God will put you back together and make something beautiful. It is also realizing that sometimes the answer may be no. "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:9)

So whenever you're feeling down again, just remember you are like a sword that is going through the process of being made. A sword goes through the fire and gets hit on in order to get the right shape and size and back into the fire. This process goes on until the desirable look is achieved. But at the end, it is shining brightly and beautiful.

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.
