Yes, Everybody, My Life Is A Mess, Guilty As Changed, But It's An *Organized* Mess

I got my formal dress the day of formal.

I have always lived in what I call an "organized mess." What I mean by this is that sometimes I have trouble keeping my car organized, being on time, keeping things in my room in order, and being last minute on a lot of things. I like to blame it on the fact that I believe I am more abstract than the average person, and I don't live messy, instead, "freely." No matter how much clutter I feel that my life is in, things have always worked out for me.

As I got older, I started to think that this was bad and that maybe I wasn't "normal." I saw other people had their notebooks color-coded and their bed always made, but I didn't. I think the fact of the matter is that we are all a little bit hard on ourselves. A little bit of chaos is simply the way I live, and that is okay with me.

I've never been a planner, I've never been one to make sure my closet is organized, but I know how to navigate my ways, and that is fine.

While I don't condone living in a complete mess, I do condone living the way that works for YOU.

I had my sorority's formal just this past weekend, and in typical "me" fashion, I got my dress the day of. In fact, hours before. Seems crazy, but sometimes that's just the way it goes for me.

I'm a go with the flow kind of girl, and I think it's important for others to know that. It is okay to not have your life figured out every second, and it's okay if other people's ways don't work for you.

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.
