I Know It's Not Christmas But I'm Still The Grinch

If you're a really nice person and you're reading this, no offense to you, but you scare me.

Humanity cannot seem to impress me, and I think it’s just abnormal. I’m not talking about events going on in the world today, like our dreaded president or his annoying family (Because those are incredibly disappointing on their own).

The world is filled with people who are so nice, overly content, diabetes. It sucks because I’m not diabetes, I’m like the Grinch. Being the Grinch can suck because it’s the littlest things these people do that annoy you. Some people are so uplifting, it's weird.

I swear people aren't really like that.

The overly positive are just annoying, here I am in my muddy hole, I don't need your positivity while I'm sinking. Try again later when I need air.

There's a girl at school who's so nice to everyone and is always smiling, everyone knows her as "the nicest girl ever" and I can't help but think it's fake.

But it's not her fault that she's nice, it's me. I can't bypass it and I find it annoying. I'm pretty sure I get it from my mother, she's not the nicest- but at least she's pretty. The both of us feel like people who are too nice always have something to hide.

I guess that's just our way of being street smart.

Even movies teach you that really nice people are those you should look out for, for example:

"Misery"

"Zootopia"

"Pride and Prejudice"

"The Visit"

"Mean Girls"

"Cyber Bully"

Another scenario, this girl had her cell phone out in class and there was a strict “no cell phone” rule. So, I didn’t have mine out.

I’m not jealous because the lecture was great

An incident happened during the class where the teacher had to ask an unknown dude to leave the classroom (That story is for another time) and the next thing I notice, she’s texting her group chat of friends what happened, and it was a whole paragraph.

It started like this:

“So, there was an intruder…”

Why couldn’t she just wait until after class? Impatient, your friends can wait. I know I can just easily avert my eyes but now, I’m annoyed and distracted.

Great.

Then the professor asks about a specific question that he couldn’t recall the answer to and neither could the other students.

And she looked it up, raised her hand and said the answer. She was given an unfair advantage with that phone, I couldn’t even look it up. She looked so happy too, like diabetes.

She even smiled at me, as if I didn't just see her look up the answer.

So smug. Ew.

Instances like these make me think really nice people are just fake, like they have a hidden agenda of some sort.

If you're a really nice person and you're reading this, no offense to you, but you scare me.

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.
