Lies That Can Hurt You

Why Say Them?

Lies That Can Hurt You

I tend to ask myself and others, why do people lie when the truth is always in clear view? Is there really a true answer for that question? Lying will forever be in the DNA of human beings, but why over such stupid and obvious things? I, myself, have experienced the worst lies known to human kind. But why do I let it go? I sit there and let the lies be told yet I do nothing about it.

Ever since I have started dating (a very young age), I have heard all kinds of lies: I love you, I care about you, what will our wedding look like, all things that any girl wants to hear and always does hear. Sometimes those are lies and sometimes...there is a lucky girl that hears them and knows that they are true. But some lies are a lot worse than those simple common ones. For example, I am not snorting cocaine. I am not shooting up. I am not doing drugs. I am not cheating on you. These, these right here, these are more serious and can do a lot more harm than good.

It is probably the hardest thing to watch someone you love go down a path that will hurt themselves and everything around them. Although, it is even harder to watch them doing it and not being able to do anything about it. All I want to do is help you. I have personally never done drugs but I don't see how they would damage you enough to not seek or even want help.

Users may not know it, but there are always signs and proof to the ones trying to help. You can't always try to hide it because eventually, somewhere down your long line of lies...we know. We know what that vague white powder is. We know what those cut up straws are. We know what those little clear bags are. We know what that 24 hour runny nose is about. We know what a lot of sniffing is about. Users believe that we are stupid, when in reality, we are a lot smarter than you think and than you are.

I am speaking on behalf of all the guys and girls who are in sticky relationships. Where the only thing holding them back from being fully happy are those moments where you don't know what to do anymore because of the serious lies. Lies through my eyes are considered the border between wanting to marry someone and wanting to leave someone.

We all want to be that person who in 10 years, your partner looks to his friends and says, "she's the one who helped me. She's the one who got me through everything and made me who I am today." But in order to do that, all we can do it wait until our partner is fully ready to seek help. If the lies become violence towards you, please get out. Don't wait to be THAT girl that helped...don't get physically and emotionally run down by something that simple. Please.

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.
