My Heart, My Soul

What lies underneath it all.

My Heart, My Soul

Life is a funny thing, like Forrest Gump once said, "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." I know that sounds a bit cliché, but it's true when it comes to life in general. We look at people and know nothing about them and automatically assume we know their whole life story, but in reality we know nothing and what's more sad is that sometimes we don't even know ourselves. Our own hearts and our own souls. Who am I? What's my purpose? Did I help? Did I make it worse? Questions like these are something we ask ourselves every day, but the one that sticks out the most is, "Why am I like this?"

Throughout life we tend to go through many bumps on the road. Whether they're permanent bumps or minor bumps, we tend to keep it in our minds for the rest of our lives. Sometimes it feels that there is no hope in this world or any hope in our lives and no matter what's going on at times people tend to shut themselves out of this world and out of their own lives.

Luckily there are people that do care about us and only want the best for us even if we don't feel it or even see it. Life is an everyday struggle especially when you're fighting something you don't even know what it is or something that's a lot stronger than you. No matter what we say to ourselves sometimes it feels that we can't do anything about it. You tend to doubt your own purpose in life and begin to go blind to everything in life.

The struggle of not knowing what'll happen in the next coming days, weeks, months, years, and even hours. It leaves you in a state of alert that you can't even comprehend the pain and the stress it brings to only one human being. Just like they say positiveness can be spread, well so can the negativity be spread.

What is there to do in a time like this? Who can we talk to about this that goes on every day? Can we even call anyone? In our minds there is always a sense of doubt in everything one does and no matter what outcome can come out of it, only the bad is the only outcome. Even when one is wrong and the good tends to shine and bring out the best you come to wonder if it's even all real.

I can't speak for other people I can only speak for myself. I don't know what'll happen in the coming of months or even years, but what I do know that it will be something interesting to find out. The outcome may shock many or maybe just one. It can affect many or maybe just one. At the end of the day only one person will know and can be the only person to spread whatever he or she is feeling.

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.

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.
