To The Person Who Is Ready To Give Up

Whether you are struggling in college or in a job...don't give up yet.

When in high school you have so much going on and basically your whole life revolves around work and school. Most of us have our parents to guide us and support us through it all. But when you get to college or work life afterward, your parents kind of take a step back or completely take a step back from being that backbone.

To the person who is struggling, don't give up. We all are going through different things that challenge us and make us want to give up. Life gets hard when you're on your own but just know better times are ahead. Your 20s are meant to find out who you are and what you want to do with your life. But also, they are meant to have fun because once you hit your 30s most of the time, your life slows down and there are more important things than going out all the time and not worrying about things.

Currently, my anxiety is at the top of its game again. The stress that I have from school doesn't help it either, frankly, it just makes it way worse. Many times this semester I have wanted to give up and say I'm going home. But I didn't because I know that this is important for my future and for me. But I have to remind my self to have some time for myself and to do things that I enjoy which helps tremendously. I have decided to get back into things that I hadn't done in a while but also try to explore new opportunities.

Just think, if you give up right now what are you going to do? Will you be ahead of where you are right now? Will you be happier in the long run than at the end of this long run opportunity that you're in right now? Will it really be worth it?

So if you're that person who is ready to give up, just think of the outcome. Think about how you are learning either through classes about your future or through work about your future it's all worth it. Your outcome will be greater than what you give up! Find hobbies that interest you and make sure you have fun! Its easier said than done, but its a learning game. And that is life, a learning game of yourself and the outside world.

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.
