To The Girl Who Cannot Seem To Let Go

Don't feel bad for being who you are but also don't hold onto the hold memories.

To The Girl Who Cannot Seem To Let Go

To the girl who cannot let go easily,

You hold onto everything. Whether it be something small like a necklace, a song or even the outfit that you wore on the first date, there's a certain memory to it.

A shirt with his scent on it. Gosh, you remember when he wore it for the first time and you thought to yourself, "Wow, he's so cute."

A certain song that takes you back to a great memory. "Drops of Jupiter" comes on and all you can remember is you two singing at the top of your lungs to the lyrics. Or that weird rap song comes on that he loves and all you can seem to remember is him on the driver's side trying to rap the entire song for you.

A receipt from the first date. You remember him getting so nervous on the first date that he dropped the knife on the ground in front of you and his whole face turned red.

Everything that has an ounce of meaning to it, you have it. While some may find it creepy, it's just who you are. You add sentimental meaning to everything because you're probably a hopeless romantic.

It's okay to hold meaning to little things. But it's more important to know that it's okay to let go.

That shirt that you have of his, give it back. It may hurt to do it, but in a way, it's hurting you more holding onto it.

That song that brings you back to the memory of you two singing, find a new song. Find a new song with someone even greater.

The receipt from the first date you two went on? Throw it away.

Don't feel bad for being who you are but also don't hold onto the hold memories. It's okay to move on and to make new memories. Be the best version of yourself and don't hold back because you're stuck on one small thing. Life is too short.

Sincerely,

The girl who decided that letting go was the key to happiness.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
