The Blessing Of Another Person

Strength we thought we would lose.

The Blessing Of Another Person

Sometimes it’s hard for us to do things on our own. Other times, I at least like to do things on my own so that way they come out the exact way I want them to. This applies to many different parts of my life and it includes many different people. My parents are still greatly involved in my life, but now my boyfriend of six years is more often involved in a lot of what keeps me going sometimes. My boyfriend keeps me going almost on a daily basis, including waking me up some days, and helping to cook food every day, but some days just cooking for himself. Growing into this strong relationship changed how we lived our daily lives together. We continued to focus on what we needed to build to strengthen our relationship and what one of us does and the other does to help the pair.

I continued to accept the fact that I would continue to run daily events in my life with others always being involved. Its easy to let happen now, I have accepted the fact that company will be there with me. Even today when I wake up, I hate being alone. I need to have someone there with me immediately when I wake up. Eating breakfast happens more smoothly as soon as I wake up and someone is there with me. It’s hard for me to eat �on my own. My boyfriend constantly being here is always a relief. Even though he has a full-time job I have it in my mind that he will come home to me, and I will need to have a certain amount of things ready when he’s home. Whether that is chores that we want done in the house, or something for a meal that he might want, I have now gotten used to the fact that getting that done for him will help keep our relationship strong.

Its now hard for me to live constantly on my own. I thought I was going to let that go once I grew up from my parents, but I hate it. I’m glad I get to live a daily life with them, but also with the man that has my heart. I have no idea what my life would be like without him, miserable, boring, lonely perhaps. Keeping near my parents keeps me calm knowing they are close by in any situation when I might need help. My boyfriend also helps keep me constantly calm. Being able to talk to him everyday helps me with my emotions in every level that they may get to. Without him, even with the fact that we don’t have a ring involved, I would unfortunately still just be with my parents living daily with them.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
