My Girlfriend, Anxiety

I may be difficult but I promise I'm worth it.

Congratulations; you've made it further than most guys will ever go. You managed to stay long enough to break down my walls, which most consider an impossible feat. I'm the code that can't be cracked and now I'm yours. All the work you put in to get this far will all be worth it and everything you've already observed and learned about me will begin to make sense.

There will be days when I wake up in silence and I'm numb to all emotions; when you reach out to comfort me I'll pull away. I don't know why I wake up feeling numb when I have someone who makes me feel so alive, and I'm sorry that I'm not able to explain everything going on in my head to you. Sometimes I don't even understand. My mind is constantly working at 100mph. I notice everything and I pick up on the slightest changes in body language, tone and behavior. Because of this, I drive myself over thinking every thing about you. Sometimes I won't believe you when you say you love me because sometimes I don't even love myself.

People with anxiety have extremely heightened emotions. Whether or not they are shown or openly expressed, they are still there. Anxiety is viewed as a burden or relationship baggage because of the fact that we're on a semi steady emotional roller coaster. However, once my walls come down, you'll realize you will never find someone who will love you like me. My over thinking will turn into thoughtfulness. I'll remember all the secrets you divulged to me when you were drunk and I'll never speak of them again. I may have trouble verbalizing how I feel about you, but I know what songs make you cry, how you like your coffee in the morning and what sweatshirt is your favorite.

I may be fighting myself everyday to let you in and the idea of someone loving me is something so far off it seems like it only happens in fairytales, but I will put my brain through hell to make it happen because the amount of love I have for you trumps all the doubts clouding up the back of my mind. You deserve it for staying and not giving up on me. I may be difficult but I promise I'm worth it. Thanks for sticking around.

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.
