Take A Stand For Your Future Self

I am who I am.

Take A Stand For Your Future Self
gfj ministry

It is the most selfish thing I've had to do in this world, however I knew it had to be done. I am the one person who looks out for myself, I do not rely on others to do that task for me. I have made it clear that I am who I am, and my values are my values. If you do not like them great, I am glad you have that opinion of me because you are entitled to that.

However, I will not sit there and have to take shit from someone who has no idea what my life is like. I will not let you get under my skin because you are not worth my time, I have more important things to be dealing with than petty issues. So, I am doing what is best for myself, and my future self. Saving myself from having a nervous breakdown just because I cannot handle the person you have become.


If you want to change your ways, that is great, go you. However, I will no longer be a part of that. I am doing what is best for who I need to become, and if you do not like it so be it, it is not your decision to make anymore. I am not a child, I will not be forced into something I am no longer comfortable in.

I was taught as a child that if I was not comfortable in a situation to remove myself from said situation. So, this is doing that. This is me taking a stand for what I believe in my heart to be right. I am not sorry if it hurts you, because I am no longer okay with being pushed around like I am nothing to you.


For once in my life I have to do what is right for me and not everyone else. I am sorry if this hurts people, but I am not sorry for taking a stand for myself and the values I was raised to have.

As I always tell myself through a hard time, if God brought me to it, he will get me through it. I do not hate you, I just want this negativeness out of my life, it is not needed anymore. I pray that you do move on and become a better person than this situation. Because the moments you hit your knees and pray in life are the moments God shows you his mercy and his way. So, here I am on my knees praying that I will not feel hurt by this situation anymore because I know I needed to do what is best for myself and who I am becoming as a person. I hope you do the same, and you take into consideration who you have behind you.

Everyone has trials in their life, but that is exactly it, it is their trials, no one else's to burden to handle. You never really know true strength until you find it in yourself to take a stand for your character and the values that will shape your life. And you realize that this trial will only shape your character even more.

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.
