Passion: Where To Draw The Line Vs. Where To Start It?

It can get complicated.

Passion: Where To Draw The Line Vs. Where To Start It?
Huffington Post

If you know me even a little bit you know there are two sides to me. There are things I’m very passionate about and there are things that I do not care about. As I was reading other articles about what people were passionate about, it got me thinking. There are so many things I wish I could care about but I just don’t. There are also things that I wish I wasn’t so passionate about.

Things I wish I was more passionate about:

Exercise

I can never motivate myself enough to start a routine. One day I will start!

Eating Healthy

Why would I waste my time making something healthy when french fries are so good?

Math

I constantly struggle with math. Keep me in your thoughts this semester with my math class!

Love

You sometimes just get to the point where you stop caring about love because it never works out.

Being outdoorsy

I like to say this is something I will try to change but chances are I won't! Dirt + me do not mix well.

Things I wish I could calm down about:

What people think of me

Did I do something wrong? What did I say? Are they judging my shoes? It is a bad habit that I'm working on, I promise.

Controlling everything around me

I don't know if this will ever stop completely but I will sure try!

Being a back/side seat driver

This goes along with being controlling. If I'm not in charge I tend to freak out.

Love

This is on both sections because it has two different sides. Sometimes I don't care enough and other times I care way too much.

If I’m doing the right thing

I'm working on trusting that things will work out, even if I don't do the right thing.

This was supposed to bring some humor to something I’ve been struggling with for a long time. I have to focus more on myself and not what people are thinking. However, passion is good. Never lose that fire if it is something that makes you happy.

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.
