If I Could Protect Everyone From 'The Bad,' I Would

I want everything to be perfect. I want everyone to not deal with all the negativity in life but I know that will never happen. We face obstacles in life to make us stronger or better people.

However, I can't explain everything that happens in the world or protects everyone from everything. I can't protect you from all the bad in the world but I can protect you from some things. To say I am overprotective is a spot on comment, I look out for my friends and I want the best for them but I am not controlling. I want my friends to have a good life and I am afraid that I will lose them. I have witnessed my friends have their heart broken, battle sadness and just not be themselves. I have made my mistakes and I don't want my loved ones to make those mistakes too, that's why I try to be dependable but I am also quick to admit that I cannot save you from all the bad in the world.

Throughout my life, there has always been someone there to look out for me but I knew that one day I would begin looking out for others. Some of the times have been good and sometimes have been bad but that's just life. The good and bad. There are also times I wish I did not even bother to try and protect someone. I give way too many chances and I think that is my downfall, that I am too trusting and will give someone way too many chances. I want to protect everyone from all the bad but I guess it is seen differently. So why do I want to protect people? So I can save them from all the Heartbreakers and people who have done others dirty. To rid them out of the fuck boys, negativity and people who don't deserve you in your life.

It's hard to get through to people sometimes. People do not want to believe other opinions but I know how to spot these people because I was one of them. I wanted to ditch the lovable nice guy and become the guy everyone wanted and despised but I realized it was not me. I tried to hit on girls and tried to do stuff that wasn't me and I realized what I was doing was not me. I'm not going to ghost you, stand you up on a date or try and make you cry. Even when I have done these I reminded myself that I did not want to be this way. That's why I protect my friends. I don't want them to make the mistakes I made or do something that they will regret. They say if you really care about people show them and that's what I try to do. I want to protect you from all the bad decisions but I know it might not always happen.

What doesn't kill us makes me stronger, It's not about how hard you hit it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward, and You'll have bad times, but it'll always wake you up to the good stuff you weren't paying attention to are all quotes I think about throughout my life. I know things will seem tough but I just wish it could all stop or go away. There are people here to protect you and whether you know or not they want to help you.

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.

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.
