To The Ones Who Changed Their Mind

It's okay to change your mind, it's not a crime nor is it something your able to be judged for.

To The Ones Who Changed Their Mind

It is okay to change your mind. Believe it or not, it takes a certain type of person to be able to find the strength to change their mind. Take it from me, changing my mind and twisting my world into a completely different path was when I was most vulnerable and confused. But it's okay.

Changing your mind can be as simple as ordering pizza and changing it to a sandwich at a restaurant or as complicated as wanting to leave you dream school almost immediately. Of course the most complicated one is the one I'm really talking about here.

Though it's one hundred times more complicated, messy, scary and concerning it's still the same idea. The same idea, that there is nothing wrong with changing your mind NO matter what the situation is.

Being away at school I learned so much about myself. I learned how much growing I still have to do. I learned that even though I could probably get used to it and have a wonderful four years away from home, I wasn't ready and it wasn't for me. I changed my mind, I needed to leave my dream school and come home. Pursuing the same destination just at a different destination is what success looked like for me.

I missed my house, I missed my family, but most of all I missed myself and the person I had been prior to going away to school. Every day I ask myself if I made a mistake but then every day I remind myself how much better I feel, how proud I am for being brave enough to change my mind. It made me better person and I proved to myself that again, it's is okay to change your mind.

If someone who is in the midst of changing their mind is stuck on whether to fight through what they are going through or to simply change their mind, the answer is change your mind. I promise it'll be a time to ponder back on and remind yourself of how strong and brave you truly were.

Once again, it is okay to change your mind, I promise no one has the power to judge you.

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.

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.
