To The People That Just Don't Know

We all are facing something we think is bigger then us

To The People That  Just Don't Know
bowleswyer.com

This is for the people that spend their days just going through the motions. For the ones that agree to whatever people say not because they don't care but because they don't have a opinion of their own about the topic in question. For the ones the spend nights wide awake in anxiety attacks because they see others around them finding what they want from life. This is for the ones that are in a constant state of not knowing.

Trust me I know where you're at because I'm there too. Some days I think, "Okay so this is going to work" and others it's like I'm a Target cashier on black Friday; complete chaos. I guess this typical with senior year starting in a month (how??). Trying to narrow down colleges and finding the one college that is going to allow me to go the farthest with my career interest, which I decided to change within the last year.

This is isn't going to be a rant about my crisis, because I'm not the only one facing something. We all are facing something we think is bigger then us.

Those nights when you stay up until four the next morning because you are just so stressed out everything going on in your life; work, family, friends, future. It's all in your head. Our mind has this thing of playing a dirty tricks on us and makes us believe that everything we see or hear is fifteen times worse then what it actually is. Nothing is ever really as bad as it seems.

So you've out of touch with the people around you lately. Doesn't mean you are going to end up living alone in studio apartment with nine cats to keep you company your whole life. So you feel like your spending your whole life doing the same things day after day. Doesn't mean your life won't change one day.

For most people the live and do the exact same thing, in the same town, for eighteen years and then suddenly they are thrown into a completely different world.

So don't worry your chance is coming, be patient. Enjoy the time you have before it happens because you never know when it's coming. Whether it's tomorrow or a year from now, make sure you aren't wasting your time stressing out over what will happen or when it will happen. Live in the moment and don't take the small things for granted.

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.
