Thank You For Letting Me Go

You completely destroyed me but it was in the destruction that I found myself.

I have been thinking a lot since we last spoke. I couldn't bring myself to message you for a while so I just left things unspoken, I didn't even say goodbye. But it was time that I end this completely.

There was a time that I loved you and thought nothing but good things about you. I thought you were perfect and I thought you would never do me wrong. When things started changing, you acting weird and me pushing you away, I still wanted nothing more than to be with you. But the ENTIRE time we were talking, I felt like I was not enough for you. And there was always someone else in your life that was getting the same attention from you that I was. I just could not handle it. I hated feeling that way. And no matter how many times I told you it was killing me you would just say, "I understand," yet nothing would change. I told you before that the only other guy I had ever loved did the same thing, and you still continued doing it. Still continued hurting me even when you KNEW you were hurting me.

Almost every single day, I would put myself down and I got it through my head that YOU were better off without ME. But it was you who lied, it was you who ruined anything we ever could have had. Because I simply did not trust you. Trust and honesty are the only things I ever asked of you and you couldn't even give me that. This entire "thing" made me absolutely crazy and in turn, I could not make up my mind about us. I thought if I walked away, you would realize that we loved each other too much to let this end..but you let me go without a fight. And that is how this ended.

I am not saying that you are a bad person because you're not. We had some good times, it wasn't all bad. And someday when you get your life together and you grow up a little, you could make someone happy. But that person will not be me. I no longer carry the same love for you that I did before. I still care, but I know that I will be better off without you in my life. We were a disaster, sometimes beautiful, but mostly destructive. And i no longer have it in me to continue fighting for you. I should not even have to.

These past few weeks, I have learned a lot about myself and I am finally in a good place. I know what I want out of life and I am happier and freer than I have ever been. I guess I have you to thank for that. Thank you for breaking my heart, over and over again. Thank you for showing me what I DO NOT want out of a relationship. Thank you for showing me that no matter how much we may care for a person, it does not necessarily mean they have to be a part of our future. And most importantly, Thank you for letting me go.

You completely destroyed me, but it was in the destruction that I found myself.

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.
