To The Person Who Cares Too Much

Care too little, you will lose them. Care too much, you will get hurt.

It’s not your fault.

You probably wonder why you are the way you are, you wonder why you care too much about the littlest things. You wonder why you worry about things that may not matter to others and often the smallest words could upset you. It’s not your fault. Your heart is gold. Your soul is pure. You are the type of person the world desperately needs. Don’t ever let anyone tell you otherwise. You are so full of love, no matter how many pieces you may break into, that love never stops.

You pour your heart out to people because you wish to see people happy. You wish to remind people that they are loved. People will tell you that this is your weakness, you caring too much, and loving too much. But those same people will end up taking advantage of it. It’s not your fault that you can’t help but care about everyone and everything. You can’t help but tell people to always be safe if they’re out late. It’s not your fault that you tend to ask people if they are okay. Even if you aren’t okay yourself. But you don’t care if no one asks you. You don’t care if people don't make the effort to make you laugh or smile the way you make the effort. It’s your natural instinct to help anyone in need, to make them smile and laugh; not because you believe it’s your duty as a human, but because you find happiness in doing so.

You could be broken in pieces but when you hear and see someone laugh because of you those broken pieces don’t matter to you. You believe that there’s nothing more amazing than making someone else smile and laugh. This love that you are so filled with is a gift from God. You putting your heart and soul in caring about others, and loving the people that least deserve it, despite this you believe that those are the people that truly need love.

Despite you finding happiness in loving people, and making them happy, sometimes when it’s 3AM and you’re so broken from people stepping all over you. You can’t help but wonder if there’s something wrong with you. Because despite the situations you put yourself in, the effort you make to keep people happy, each time you end up heartbroken. But you can’t stop. You can’t ever stop caring about people can you? You spend your nights often thinking about this, wondering why you are like this. So when you end up in this situation you wish to be heartless, and you wish to be given the ability to not care.

Yet, this never happens does it? So to the girls out there that go through this I hope you remember these words by me; you are so strong and beautiful for the way you are. You are so special and precious you don’t even know my love. You have the ability to love the most broken, messed up humans, you have the ability to find happiness in other people's happiness even if they do not return the same love and happiness. Don’t question this. You may believe this is your weakness, but in reality it is your strength. The ability to never go cold or heartless on humans, because you believe that everyone needs love and happiness in their lives, and you are the perfect person to spread that love and happiness.

I hope you continue to do so. Don’t ever let anyone change this aspect of you. Don’t ever let someone tell you this is your weakness. We need people like you in the world, don’t let another broken human tell you that you shouldn’t care or you should love less because this world is cold and no one cares. Instead, love them, and show them that it’s okay. That it’s okay to let someone love them. Show them that you care. Show them it’s okay to be happy. Show them that loving and spreading happiness is your strength. I hope you continue to love the way you do, I hope you always care about others the way you do. This is the most beautiful thing about you.

Always remember that.

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.
