To The Girl Who's Been Told She's Never Enough

The feeling of worthlessness is something all too familiar to the girl that lays in bed at night with that empty feeling in her heart and bottomless pit in her stomach.

For some this feeling stems from a Mom or a Dad. A parent that is supposed to love you until the end of time, but doesn't show it. A parent that put someone or something else before you, their child, and left you feeling like something was wrong with you, that no one would ever want you.

If either of your parents make you forget how loved you are, that's their mistake. Look to other family and friends and you will see that you are more loved than you will ever know.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feeling stems from a coach. A coach that gave you a career of riding the bench and forever wishing you were as good as your teammate. Making you feel like no matter how many open gyms you went to, no matter how many private lessons you took, no matter how many times you came early or stayed late, you would never amount to anything close to a valuable player.

He only cared about himself, not giving you a chance. You're worth just as much as anyone on that team.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feeling stems from school. A place that reeks of gossip, stress, and bad cafeteria food. Whether it be the teacher that belittled your brain, the clique that never included you, or the boy that made you out to be "crazy".

School is only temporary. Go kick butt in the real world.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feeling stems from a friend. A "friend" that didn't deserve that very title. A "friend" that dulled your sparkle, shot down your opinions, neglected to include you, and always left you struggling to measure up to them.

Your heart shines brighter than her ego ever will.

To that girl, you are enough.

For some this feelings stems from a boy. The boy that took advantage of you when you had a little too much to drink. The boy that left you without an explanation. The boy that made you constantly chase for the approval of a man. The boy that left your messages as "Read" and always left you wondering what you did this time. The boy that cheated so you never stopped thinking that no one would ever be satisfied with just you. The boy that made you lie awake at night questioning your worth.

He never deserved you anyways.

To that girl, you are enough.

To each and every one of you, don't let anyone take away your strong, independent girl power. Never wish to be anyone but you. You are beautiful inside and out. And you are enough.

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.
