To the magic touch people who are just like me.

This is for the perfectionist like me. The ones who feel like they can conquer the world and fix anything. The green thumb or a magic touch of everything:

It is okay for things to not turn out as planned.

As a perfectionist, you will think that nothing should ever go wrong and when it does every now and then, it blows up in your face. The kind of blow up that hits you out of nowhere and is atrocious. It leaves you distraught and confused.

You think of how you did everything right and yet you still ended up failing in some type of way. It bothers you to the core because you are superwoman/superman and nothing should ever go wrong, but it is okay.

Life could be compared to many things but the main comparison is: highs, lows, good, bads, storms, sunshines, and you could go on and on and on.

The thing is that's what makes life, life. No matter how hard you try, nothing is ever made to be perfect. No matter how many times you "perfect" and prep for a situation, things can go still go wrong. It will continue to blow up in your face because I mean come on, us perfectionists are stubborn, but continue on.

Continuing after a small set back can be tricky, but you keep building to make things better. Us perfectionists will probably always try to do things perfectly and do better but we have to understand that not everything is going to be perfect and if things mess up they just mess up and we continue to do our thing.

We can not blame ourselves for things that go wrong or happen when we have done everything we can. We can only do so much and that's all we can do. We are still good people.

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.
