To Those Who Hide Their Guilt

As much as you bury, I hope you feel it one day

To Those Who Hide Their Guilt
Collide

There's one of two reasons to not feel guilt. Either you're body has a chemical imbalance, where you completely lack a conscience, or you are just blatantly burying the guilt that you feel to try to feel better about yourself. This is to those people who bury the guilt, bury it so far down that they think they are making themselves feel better about themselves for what they did to feel their guilt.

First of all, why? What is so easy about hiding that guilt? I want these people to realize it will hit them eventually. You may have trained yourself for years to not feel guilt, thinking you never have to apologize, thinking you are better than saying those words, "I'm sorry" and proving it, but eventually, deception catches up to us and that guilt will hit you.

Don't wait for that day. Recognize that guilt now and clear both your heart and head. One day something will happen to you where you wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" and you will go through your past searching for the answer. When did you intentionally hurt someone, when did you lie, when did you not feel sorry for these actions, when did you not try to fix it? And that is when the guilt will come and you will do anything to try to finally fix it at that point, unfortunately, most times too late.

So don't wait for that day to come. You are given this emotion, along with others, to recognize them and act on them in positive ways, not to bury them to make yourself feel better for the time being. Face your guilt, fix what caused it, recognize your mistakes before you make the same ones over again.

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.
