The Reason I'm Not Able To Travel

If you have any issues, take it up with my cat.

The Reason I'm Not Able To Travel
TravelandLeisure

I don't travel much. I never did. Traveling is hard for me, not only because I'm poor and have no free time at all, but traveling is hard because I'm too attached to my cat and he gets far too paranoid for me to leave. I'm sorry.

If you can't understand, allow me to explain this a bit more for you.

As a child, I never traveled. My parents never owned a car and we lived off a fairly low income then as well. Because of our situation, we never really left the city so traveling was never a priority of mine. Sure, I love long car rides with music blasting (all the cliche best friend stuff). But, it's never really something I expected to happen or really desired. Once my cat came into my life, this all intensified much more.

When I met my cat, or as I'd like to call him, my son, he was a tiny little baby living in my backyard. Immediately, we grew a bond like no other. Anyone that sees him interact with me say they've never see a cat bond so well with a human. Before we took him into my home, I would always sneak outside and feed him food. This probably played a role in why he would never leave our yard. Eventually, he became part of the family and we took him into our home. From then on, my cat and I grew up together. He's been through almost every stage of my awkward teenage years with me, and still accepts me.

Over the years, my cat learned my daily routine. He knows when I leave for work and when I come home, and if I'm home later than I should be, he actually screams at me. No lie, my cat will sit on the coffee table and meow at me until I sit down. In actuality, my cat suffers from severe separation anxiety. It's getting pretty bad actually.

But in conclusion, I'm really sorry I'm not able to go out as much as you would like me too. I'm also sorry I'm not able to travel around with everyone as much as it's wished I would. It's not against you or anything, but my cat needs me.

If you have any issues, take it up with my cat.

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.
