Reasons I Am Single

and I've never been happier

Reasons I Am Single
Jonteal Hasty

I'm just going to blatantly lay it out. Let you all know that I go through the struggle every day and there are simple reasons of why I will forever be single.

It has nothing to do with my looks because I know that I am a beautiful young woman. Men or should I say boys are intimidated by how beautiful a person like me actually is. I don't have to wear makeup, and I don't have to comb my hair and I don't have to dress up. You can see who I truly am at any point of the year. Yet boys usually choose the girl that hides behind her cover up because it is easier to accept the fake version of someone. It's hard to choose a girl like me who doesn't cover up. I highlight my flaws and make them a part of me.

Another reason is because of my personality. I'm not a "normal" girl. I don't do what other girls do or say what other girls say. I tell it how it is and no I will never hide who I truly am. You never know what you're going to get with me. One day I can be this calm and nice person and the next i'm bouncing off the walls and as blunt as ever. It's okay dudes, you will never be able to handle someone like me.

Lastly, my focus. It's real easy to let somebody step in front of your path and fog your future. You'll fall in awe over this person that says all the cute things you need to hear. Well, I won't. My eye is on the prize and nothing will stand in my way. So maybe I play a couple games with boys to entertain myself, but when the fun is over, it's always best to return to my work. A boy won't get me to my goals, only I will.

So maybe the biggest reason I am forever single is because of me. Maybe I'd rather wait for that one person to accept all my flaws, to appreciate all the beautiful I am, and not only fog my future, but be apart of my future.

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.
