You Never Stop Finding Yourself

I don't care what anyone says, finding yourself is a life-long journey.

You Never Stop Finding Yourself

Do you ever find yourself sitting in your car, playlist on shuffle, and putting all the weight of your fate in the next song? Do you start driving with no aim in destination, but just to get away?

We're always looking for something more, as Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper once sang in a far more eloquent way than how I'm writing this. But, that's not always a bad thing. You should motivate yourself to find more than just the mundane routine of the same old crowd, scenery, and happenings. You're more than the ground you're standing on, and there's more to you than how people perceive you.

You're a pencil in a sharpener, constantly shedding layers until you've resolved to your finest point. I wasn't going to go for the obvious onion reference, because that's been played out...ahem, Michael Myers. Anyhow, you're constantly on the path to another chapter in your life. You're in transition to constant change.

One would argue that people never change. To which I say, people hardly ever change. People have the ability to change, but on their own account. They must be seeking said change, improvements, or opportunities. People change because they desire change. They don't change willingly on unpredictable circumstances. People are reluctant to change when it's not on their own.

To continue, people constantly are flicking through chapters in their lives. Things are ever changing.

If people don't expect you to change, they're dead mistaken. It's good to morph into different things, especially if its who you want to be. Don't be fearful of change and continue to find yourself. What you want now is not necessarily what you'll want later, so don't get too caught up in the tribulations of right now. Live in the moment, and take risks every time you can. It's not fair to you to be too afraid to get on and change.

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.
