Living In The Moment Of Your Emotions

Have you ever met someone and just knew, knew that this person was meant to make an impact on the rest of your life? The hard part I feel like for me is trying to figure out whether or not to let them stay or let them go. Too many times someone will sneak up on our lives. A co-worker, a friend of a friend or even a random person you meet at the bar and while we find comfort in them we become content and suddenly someone that was only meant to be a friend is now your partner in what you would classify as a crappy relationship.

More times than not we mistake seasonal people with the permanent. How would your life be different if you never got the two mixed up? If there could be this sign magically hanging above everyone head. "I'm seasonal, don't fall for me" or "I'm permanent, come get to know me you won't regret it." How much heart ache would you of saved yourself, but isn't the beauty of life not knowing? I mean there's always the saying people like to throw out there "well everything happens for a reason," but does it or is that the way of justifying our actions and our current situations? Last time I checked I am in charge of my life. I make my own choices and if I don't like something then it's up to me and me only to change it. I can wallow in misery, deep in the words of "oh this was gonna happen no matter what" or I could change it. Upgrade my mindset, differ my life choices and stop living in the moment of my emotions. Yeah, you read that right. Stop. Living. In. The Moment. Of. My. Emotions. I know I have personally made this mistake too many times. What ever happened to thinking about things before we made a decision? If we're happy we are gonna make a decision based on the fact that we are happy in that moment, we are blinded to what is really going on. Same thing happens when we find ourselves scared, sad or even angry. We make decisions that effect the rest of our lives based off of how we feel in that exact moment. Nine times out of ten it's probably not the best option for your future but yet we do it anyway, there has to be more logic to that. But life would be so boring if we knew; if we had the ability to know who we would grow up to be, who our friends were and who we'd end up marrying.

Life is too short for us to hang on to those "seasonals." Yeah it's nice to have them, yeah it was good while it lasted but if someone is willing to walk out on you, willing to put you through hell and back for there own personal needs, then let them. Trust me you will come in contact with many other "seasonals" and one day you will find that permanent. Just enjoy the ride to and mystery of figuring out who is who, just maybe take some time to really think and if you're like me try not to maybe make all your decisions based on the moment. Live life not only for today but for what tomorrow may hold.

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.
