An Open Letter To My Heart, That Feels Like It Doesn’t Belong Here

I know you feel out of place, just know I want to change that

An Open Letter To My Heart, That Feels Like It Doesn’t Belong Here
tumblr

I know you’re panicking. I know you feel stuck. I know you feel constrained, suffocated and you’re using every ounce of strength you have to try to break free. To move on. To follow your deepest desires and leave everything else behind. No second thoughts, no over-thinking.

I know you’re wondering how the hell you ended up here, in a place surrounded by people you don’t like participating in activities you aren’t interested in. I know how out of place you feel and this is me apologizing for that.

You don’t belong here. I don’t belong here. I have bigger dreams. Different desires. We’re resonating on different frequencies. You’re in one place, while my body and mind are in another. You want to break free, to buy a one-way ticket and not come back. To start new, start fresh. To finally be surrounded by the people and things you want, in the place that you love. The place you’ve never even been to, but believe is your home. The place where you can fit in. Where you can finally take a look around you and know that you belong. That this is where you thrive.

This place has never felt like home to me. These obligations have never felt like my own. This life is foreign, as are the people I interact with on a daily basis. I feel like I'm spinning in circles. Like I'm going nowhere. Like my brain is on a different frequency every second because it doesn't know it's place. It's constantly having to adjust to being surrounded by unfamiliar, unwanted atmospheres.

I have high expectations and no way to manifest them. I live vicariously through others and try to transport myself into their position. Try to make their lives my own. Hoping that it'll in turn change my life, and bring me the things I desire. They say the law of attraction is powerful. That you can acquire anything you want as long as you keep your mind set on it, and I've never been more hopeful of anything in my life.

So, to my heart that feels like it doesn't belong here, the only thing we can do for now is be patient. Be positive. Work our hardest to get even a fraction of a step closer towards our goals, because we'll make it there some day. Regardless of how it happens or who's standing next to us in the end, we will make it if we truly believe we can.

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.
