The Royal Wedding Brought Feelings Of Jealousy, And I Had To Learn How To Get Over Them

I realized that it was ridiculous of me to be jealous of two people that were obviously made for each other.

Along with most of the world, I spent most of my Saturday obsessively reading articles about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding while I looked at every photo from every angle that I could find. I obsessed over the dress, the body language, the guest list, and everything in between for the entire day. How could you not be obsessed with this?!

As I spent more time tracking every detail of the beautiful day, I began to feel bitter and angry. I realized that I was just jealous of what title Meghan was gaining. I was jealous that I'll never get to be a princess. I was jealous of the ceremony and beautiful tiara. I was jealous of the life Meghan will get to step into. And most of all, I was jealous of how much they love each other. It is so clear that they are soul mates and that's something that we all want.

I've always wanted to be a princess and have a life where I could help others through my philanthropic efforts while wearing beautiful dresses. These feelings were amplified by my obsession with the Royal Wedding for so many reasons.

I eventually realized that I was being ridiculous for so many reasons. I shouldn't be jealous of someone else's life because I should be rejoicing in the victories of everyone around me, friends and strangers. I should be thrilled to watch Meghan step into her role as someone with the ability to change the rigid traditions of the past. I should be excited that she embraced her natural beauty and her background over rules. And above all, I should be happy that they are so in love because it gives me hope that everyone can be as happy as they are.

Meghan Markle is going to do wonderful things for everyone around her with her philanthropic efforts and feisty personality. It's refreshing to see the possibility that the Duchess of Sussex has to use her new title and power to shake things up so that she can make a real difference.

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.

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.
