To The Soul-searcher And The Wanderers

Wanting everything but waiting for absolutely nothing

To the soul-searchers and the wanderers,

How does one change if they never drop the remains of who they once were? Yet, how does one change if they do drop the remains of who they once were? A set of paradoxical questions I often ask myself. Who am I? I have no answer, I have no idea who I am. I like to figure that I am what I believe to be true.

I believe in love. Not the lustful type filled with evil intentions. The pure kind, filled with donut cream and courage. I believe in the power of spiritual faith, but I also believe in fallen angels. I believe in self-empowerment, in freedom so large it leaves you trembling. I believe in magic. The kind that brings people back to life, grants wishes and makes unicorns appear without their horns. I believe in what Esther said about dying when one must die. I believe that God is good. That he loves us, and that is why he allows us to choose if we want to love him in return. I believe that candy really did taste better when you were still a child; that humanity’s destiny is held in the stars. I believe that life is a game, a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you are still breathing, so you might as well sit back and enjoy it. I believe in the healing power of music, that the sadness you experience watching movies is real, and I believe in the words I bleed onto blue lined paper. I believe that these things recreate me, molding my chameleon soul over and over. I am the moon, kissing the night sky. Wanting everything but waiting for absolutely nothing.

How will you know which parts of yourself have been dropped and which parts were left? How will you know when your colors are finally broken? Scattered across the grave of your fantasies.

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.
