Sometimes I am

Sometimes I'm invincible, other times I'm fragile, but most times I'm a mix of the two

Sometimes I am

Sometimes I'm invincible, other times I'm fragile, but most times I'm a mix of the two. I exist in parts and pieces, and I exist as one whole being, tied together with a string that turns my veins to fire, pushing me to make sense of who I am and what I'm doing.

Sometimes I question myself. Why am I doing this? Who am I? I don't like what I'm doing, should I stop? Is that quitting? Is quitting bad? Good? Or is quitting simply chaotic neutral?

I never really believed in chaotic good- or chaotic evil- it was always chaotic neutral. All people are neutral. There is no inherent goodness or badness in our genes, no chemical that tells our brains that we must kill or hunt or rape.

Sometimes I am both good and bad, other times I am sweet, but most of the time I'm simply in a state of stress, roaming around until I figure out the best course of action for myself.

Sometimes I play with words as I am doing right now. I can feel the clatter of the keys underneath of my fingertips and I know I am home, but I am neither in my house nor using my own computer, notebook, pen or pencil. In that regard I am a phony, a fake, an impostor, but I cannot let you know that is who I am. No, I cannot. So I fake it.

I suppose that what you just read may have sounded deep on some level, but it is quite the opposite. It is an experiment in sounding deep, being pretentious, and seeing how far I can get before you realize that I have no idea what to write about. what to say, or what subject matter to comment upon.

So suddenly I've written something very deep and yet written nothing at all, and you've fallen for it.

I bet you're starting to regret clicking on this article, but it will surely comfort you to know that this is the product of a week full of papers, midterms, and a sinus infection that seems to only serve the purpose of imitating a clamp being shoved up my nose.

Not everything you read on the internet has a purpose, I've proven that. I've striven to prove that. Everything I write is finite and in the long run, it won't matter. Write what you want. It's okay.

Sometimes I am okay.

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.
