I don’t understand why you thought I would stay and put up with your mean and cruel ways. If the tables were turned, would you stay? Probably not. Yet, I understand. I get it. I am nice and you took my kindness for weakness and granted. You had this expectation that your actions, no matter how much pain they caused me, would never bother me or I would stay no matter the circumstances. It did not matter how I felt because the only thing that mattered was that you received what you wanted. It was very childish and typical of you. Since we did not know each other long, I cannot be mad at you for the things you do, say, or did. You were selfish. I am very certain you may never admit it but that is ok. It is my turn to be selfish. I need to make sure we have an understanding that you will not get accustomed to treating me any kind of way. When things are all said and done, I did warn you. I specifically said, “I will stop speaking to you and not think twice about it.” You ignored me and did not believe me. For future references, I keep my promises.

I don’t understand why you thought I would stay and put up with your mean and cruel ways. If the tables were turned, would you stay? Probably not. Yet, I understand. I get it. I am nice and you took my kindness for weakness and granted. You had this expectation that your actions, no matter how much pain they caused me, would never bother me or I would stay no matter the circumstances. I do not know where you got this idea of from but try again buddy. When we met, what was it about me? I was being friendly when I held a conversation. Believe me, again, when I say that I have no problem being in a room full of people and entertaining myself. I will give it to you though. I fell foolishly stupid hard for you. Not as in I fell in love with you but like me you can hold a conversation, an entertaining one at that. You were not in total blame for the disappointment you caused me. I have to take full responsibility for my part too. You did not do it all alone because I am very much your accomplice. I just get so confused, frustrated, and disappointment when people have these low expectations or misconceptions of me. Do not feel bad thought because you are not the only one and will not be the last.

I don’t understand why you thought I would stay and put up with your mean and cruel ways. If the tables were turned, would you stay? Hell No. I do not understand. I do not get it. I am nice and PEOPLE take my kindness for weakness and granted. Family, friends, neighbors, classmates, acquaintances, and boyfriends (The list can go further) have this expectation that I will forever being around waiting to be mistreated and neglected. Ha!

*Oh, by the way, I have no expectation that anyone will stay and put up with me. I can be a lot to handle.

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.
