Toxic Relationships: Don't Settle!

It is not fair to yourself to settle for anything less than you deserve

There comes a point in your toxic relationship where you start to question everything. You wonder if this is all worth it and you wonder if you want to keep trying to make things work, but the answer is right there in front of you: no. If your relationship is toxic, then no, it is not worth it; no you don't have to try to make things work anymore. Why continue to put yourself through hell for someone who isn't worth all that unnecessary trouble? You can do better, you will do better.

Stop settling for the lousy humans who don't treat you the way you deserve to treated. You deserve someone who is going to throw a lasso around the moon to give to you, not someone who is going to make you upset every day. There is a human out there for you who is going to bring you so much joy and happiness that there is no point settling for someone who isn't going to do that for you. Your life is too important to not enjoy every second of it and someone who drags you down doesn't belong there.

Don't settle for anyone who makes you feel less about yourself. Don't settle for anyone who is going to make you question the type of person you are. Don't settle for anyone who is trying to change you or the life that you are living. Don't settle for someone who doesn't want to do any of your favorite things. Don't settle for someone who doesn't bring a smile to your face when you see them after a long day.

You need to realize your worth and let go of anything that is holding you back. There is a human out there for you who is going to be perfect and the human for you, stop settling for someone who makes you feel like hot garbage. Start focusing on yourself and what is going to be the best for you. It's not worth it to be miserable in any relationship or in anything that you're doing, so it's time for you to move on. Don't settle for anything or anyone less than you deserve.

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.
