My Note To Jesus: I'm Lost, And I'm Sorry
PEXELS

I'm lost and I'm sorry. I used to look to you for that light in life, the positivity to get me through the day, the push to make me better, and the comfort to know I'm supported no matter what. It's felt like it's been days, months, even years. I have somehow took it upon myself to control what I want in life. Yes, I went to church and read scripture here and there but that wasn't enough. I want you in my life, I need you. To be honest with you, it's been rough.

I'm sad and anxious. In my time of dire need, you weren't there. That's my fault, not yours. I kept on blaming you for all the negatives in my life, and it gets worse and worse. It's not until now, I realize I'm approaching this the wrong way. I need to be more positive. I need to be compassionate. I need to trust you. I need you. Prayer needs to be my fuel, and you need to be my guide.

I was saved 6 years ago, and that changed my life 180 degrees around. You made me more confident, positive, strong, and most importantly happy. Lately, I have stopped walking on that path. I have been confused and lost. It's hard to put in words what I have been going through. I don't know specifically what I need, all I know is that I need you.

Through thick and thin I know that you will always be there. I will continue to go to church and read scripture. I need to work on trusting you and go to you when I'm down. I need to stop giving into temptations and being positive. You are my light when I'm in dark, you are my cushion when I am tired, you are my shepherd to my herd, and I love you for that.

It takes a lot for me to pray without stumbling, I don't pray in front of others, and it's not really comfortable for me to do it either. I don't care anymore. I'm going to do it. I want to talk to you. This gives me hope and inspiration to walk in the path that you forge for me. You have a plan for me and I am not going to fight it anymore. Why? Because I love you. I am not going to do anything half way anymore. The small things in life seem to be the hardest things, but it's not. I realize the only thing holding me back is me. I am not ashamed of who I am and I am not going to stop. You push me to be best I can be and I am perfectly content with that.

Last thing, thank you. Thank you for forgiving me, thank you for loving me, and thank you for not giving up. You are truly as great as everyone says. I won't stop believing and I will continue to love you. Thank you.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
