Steps of Letting Go
youtube

The funny thing about letting go is that it can apply to everything whether that is letting go of a boy or girl, letting go of something that made you mad or sad, or letting go of a memory that is either driving you insane or does no good for you any more. Letting go is a step in living a happy life. Happy life as in getting rid of the little tiny things that bother you that do not even apply to your life anymore.

1. Find something else to worry your mind with or think about. Because most the time you are letting things bother you it is probably because you are thinking too hard or too much about it.

2. Give it time. All things fade in time and it is true, but at the same time you have to let things go as well. The things that bother you, remind yourself that they shouldn't bother you.

3. Find a hobby. Make yourself completely utterly busy with something else that you don't even bother yourself with thinking of what you're trying to forget.

4. Accept the fact that you will not completely forget, just accept that and you'll realize that in time things won't bother you anymore. You'll slowly learn to forget the way you felt in his or her arms, the stupid thing you said, or those awful memories.

5. Learn from whatever you're trying to let go of. If there is something good to come out of whatever happened, learn from it so it does not happen again. Accept what has happened and learn from whatever mistakes occured or whatever there is to learn or gain out of the experience.

Everyone has something going on in their life and it is important to take that and grow from it. It may suck no and it will probably suck tomorrow, but maybe a month from now the storm will have passed and everything will be better. So learn and grow and be the best person possible so you can move on from those troubles and never worry of them again. Remember no matter your past you're amazing as long as you keep learning.

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.
