New Year, New Resolutions (Part 2)

Let's try this again.

Looking back at my old resolutions I realized that I did NOT complete my goals. Yikes. Do I even try and make new ones to go through for the upcoming year? You bet I am. 2019 is actually going to be my year. I know I said that last year but that's before I experienced what college is actually like and this past semester at my new school really opened my eyes. So, let's try that again.

1. Self-Love

I told myself that I was going to love myself all throughout 2018, but clearly, that didn't work. I fell back into the hole that I was once in. But this upcoming year is going to be different, I met some new people who have made me feel more special than I ever have before. I joined a sorority and these girls are my lifeline now. They make me feel more amazing than ever and when I'm with them I feel safe and secure and loved. Before I can have someone love me (which is never going to happen), I have to love myself.

2. Workout more

I have a gym membership at school. I really need to use that especially since that was so expensive. I feel bad wasting money and I really need that money for other things especially since school seems to be so SO expensive.

3. No shits given

You've heard it here, folks. I'm giving up boys. This past semester has been nothing but stress all because of the male species. And I have had it up the last straw with boys causing me nothing but , and so in that mindset. I AM DONE. But I already know that as soon as I say that next thing you know another trouble-maker comes along. That's exactly how it works. I wish it wasn't like that but unfortunately, it is.

4. Confidence

I seriously need to work on confidence. Like not to be cocky but I have a really nice face and I just don't understand why I can't see that in myself. Like I am actually really pretty with or without makeup and I don't need makeup to make myself happy. I just need to accept that I am who I am and I need to be happy in my skin. It's not like I can change who I am and what I look like, so I need to learn to embrace it and know that I am beautiful and don't need anyone to tell me. I need to know it in my heart.

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.
