To The Person Who Thinks Giving Up Is The Answer
Pixhome

Emotions are a scary and wonderful thing we all experience every single day in our lives. While one thing can make you feel a sensation of happiness and joy, others can make you feel like there’s no point to keep going in this world. I can tell you first hand that giving up is never the answer.

Think about your life for a second. Think about how many people you affect every single day. Think about how if you weren’t there anymore. Tell me your parents wouldn’t stay up all hours of the night wondering what they did to make you want to end the life they created for you. Tell me your best friend wouldn’t feel empty looking at the pictures of you two hanging on their wall. Tell me your sister or brother wouldn’t miss messing around with you everyday or calling you when they needed some advise. Tell me that you leaving this word wouldn’t affect one single person.

Think about your life again. Think about how much things change in just one year, even in half of a year. Whatever you’re feeling and going through won’t feel like such a catastrophe given enough time. Sometimes you need to be absolutely destroyed in order to grow into the person you need to be. You just need to realize that this is something that you can get through. There are going to be brighter days and people that make life worth living.

Next time when you feel like giving up is the only option, talk to someone. Tell them exactly how you’re feeling and you will quickly realize how much you’re actually worth. Like I said, letting go is not the answer and will never be the answer.

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.
