To The Girl Who Needs To Stop Rushing Everything

You may feel like just because something starts out good that it'll stay that way. But things change all the time, whether we want them to or not.

To The Girl Who Needs To Stop Rushing Everything

You may feel like you have to figure out everything in life. Maybe you feel like if you have it all planned out everything will fall into place as it should. You may feel like just because something starts out good that it'll stay that way. But things change all the time, whether we want them to or not. Sometimes we need to just take things day by day.

Sometimes we need to just relax and let life figure itself out. There's no need to rush anything, whether it be about college, relationships or whatever, take it day by day. Life has a way of figuring itself out and we just need to let it figure itself out sometimes, we can't always try to control everything we do.

We are only humans and can handle so much. We try so hard to figure things out and end up rushing everything and things don't always work out the way that we want or expect them to. I can speak from experience, I rushed everything in college thinking that if I just got what I needed to be done I'd be fine, but it then turned out not to be in my favor.

I have also rushed relationships. Instead of taking the time to actually get to know someone I had started a relationship and now I'm taking the time to get to know them as friends and focusing on school so I can get my life to where I want it to be. I rushed myself into things I wasn't ready for and it set me back to the starting line.

Letting life come to you has its perks. You take college day by day and focus on that. You let love come when it should and let that grow over time. Rushing things never works out as planned, if it has then you're lucky because I know quite a few people that rush things and it never worked out in their favor. Life has its own plan for us and we can never really stop it.

We can't control parts of our lives. Things happen that are just so out of our control, but our control is really just an illusion. Stepping back and letting things happen will let things work themselves out and our needs will be met with time. By letting these things happen, you don't have to stress about anything.

You can sit back and smile for all the things to come. Maybe things don't work out the way you want, but the outcome that you are heading to might be even better than what you are planning. Accept that things will always change and sometimes for the better. Watching things work out will have you learning so much. You learn more about how the world works without controlling every little bit of it. Who knows you might even end up happier because of it.

I know we can't just sit back and watch for everything, there are things that we need to do to put food on the table and everything else we need. Don't let it stop you from doing what you need to do as a priority but some things are better when you let them come to you and not you trying to come to something that may not be where you need to be.

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.
