What I never got to say.

To the people who have chosen to turn their backs on me

I’ve been told I’m a very deep person but that’s what makes me so different from the rest of the world because I’m not afraid to feel things in ways many people can’t even imagine to feel. So there is something I would like to say to all the people who once came into my life and swore they’d never leave or hurt me. First off I hold no resent or grudge because I’ve learned that people are meant to come in and out of your life and as hard as that may be to grasp that’s just how life is. I’ve learned to forgive those people, and I have accepted that certain things just aren’t meant to be forever. You can’t force people to be a part of your life if they chose to walk away what are you going do? Umm… I say nothing but keep your best foot forward we are all on our own journey in life people change in many ways whether it’s for better or for worse.

Something I know a lot of you can relate to is the friend/friends who are your friends at their convenience, well let me tell you don’t be a fool those aren’t your real friends and you should never let anyone take advantage of you that way. The other thing is those “close friends” that follow you and vice versa on social media then suddenly unfollow you, then after sometime they want to add you again….UMM.. SERIOUSLY?!!

I don’t know about you, but I CAN’T DEAL!! IF ANYTHING ANNOYS ME MOST IS WHEN THEY DO JUST THAT! It can be friends or maybe even your own family too, but that’s the sad truth. Well, all I have to say to people like that is sorry but not sorry! First of it’s your loss not mine, just because life isn’t going the way you thought it would be for yourself doesn’t mean you get to belittle others, or maybe you’re going through a phase you don’t even understand yourself and your embarrassed because it may be things you always say you wouldn’t do, or simple I’ve pissed you off whatever the reason may be. Don’t expect me to add you back when you get over yourself. That’s just me being real I’ve done nothing but be your friend and have been 100% honest with you and don’t even get me started I have always been there whenever you needed and ear to listen or even just a hug!

It’s without a doubt the nicest people can never win it hurts to even say but it’s true we always come last to everyone we are the ones people look past but that’s okay I understand that’s just how cruel life can be for being too nice. I can at least walk away with my head held high because I don’t consider myself mean, I know for a fact that my whole life I’ve wanted nothing more but to see people in my life happy not in a chicle kind of way but genuinely.

I know life is hard for all of us including myself but its okay I’m up for the ride and so should you. Some of you may say oh well your alone you don’t have to worry about anything but little do you know that to be true. I do have a lot to worry about because I’m on my own. It’s so easy for you to say that because you think it’s hard on you having to juggle between work, your husband and the kids or whatever the case may be. Well yea I don’t have kids or a husband or a battle with a crazy baby daddy but I struggle too just because I don’t have what you do doesn’t make my life so much easier than yours, if you only knew how much pressure I’m under to get things done for myself you would never think like that again!.. That’s no excuse for you to stop being my friend either though... but like I’ve said that’s just how life is, It’s hard out here but in order to survive you must strive to get to where you want to be.

I’m not here to make anyone uncomfortable I just want to let you know that my life isn’t perfect and it never will be because perfection doesn’t exist not for me not for anyone. I just want to finish saying to all of the people that have chosen to walk away well I wish you nothing but the best from here on out. This is just goes to show that not everyone will stick around forever so be aware down the line you’ll realize who your real friends really are.

That’s why sometimes I’m better off keeping my circle small because not everyone gets me and that’s okay I don’t expect anyone to get me anymore but know this, if you’re someone who can relate to this well you’re not alone. Welcome to my world is all I can say!

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.
