"Should I Get Bangs?" and Other Soul-Searching Questions I Constantly Find Myself Asking

We all have those days when we can't stop wondering what it's all about. What does it all mean? we wonder. Who am I? What's my purpose in life? These thoughts can be intrusive and, at times, overwhelming. I myself have struggled on my quest to personal enlightenment, but I have found that it is crucial when soul-searching to address these big questions head on. The following questions are mental obstacles that I have personally faced and am now no longer ashamed to repeat publicly. Hopefully my courage and self-acceptance will inspire you on your own journey.

1. Should I get bangs?

2. How heavily should I rely on my horoscope app?

3. Is my spirit animal a dolphin or a golden retriever?

4. What if I named my future daughter Quinoa?

5. Why am I inspired by gel pens?

6. Is it normal to feel maternal towards my succulent?

7. Does constantly stealing my roommate's gummy vitamins make me a bad person?

8. Does my dog find me emotionally unstable?

9. Would downloading Duolingo on my iPhone make my relationship with my Spanish boyfriend stronger?

10. Will people judge me if my Instagram aesthetic isn't cohesive?

11. Am I compatible with other Hufflepuffs?

12. Why do I find turtlenecks so aggressive?

Hopefully now you realize that you are not alone. Embrace the big questions. Embrace each other. But most importantly, embrace yourself.

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.
