To The Ones Who Feel Lost

"You romanticize this idea of predictability and wonder if it's something you'll ever find."

You are living each day connected to a thread of hope that you will find that stability that once made you feel so whole; but the thread is wearing thin and it feels as though it might snap and you may even lose yourself completely. You romanticize this idea of predictability and wonder if it's something you'll ever find.

You see, sometimes you get caught in these weird transitions in life that keep you questioning your own worth and then you begin wondering if that worth even existed in the first place or if it was something you fabricated with that thread of hope you connected to. Maybe this is a one-time inconvenience, maybe it will happen again, but whatever it is, you convince yourself to keep moving forward.

Some of us, it seems, go through phases like the moon. Times of feeling full and feeling invincible, but then there are other days you feel the need to fake your feelings because you're only half there. Then there are those points where you feel overshadowed-- everything is dark on these days and you're sucked into an ebb of emotions trying to make it to tomorrow without drowning. These phases would be more manageable if they worked like moon; but unfortunately, not everything in nature is completely predictable, at least not in human nature.

Sometimes it's a person who triggers this feeling of instability -- a circumstance, or maybe nothing. You just have to remember to keep gripping that thread of hope because life is changing so quickly. Maybe you're supposed to feel lost so that as you're searching for yourself and stumbling over mistakes you will fall into the acceptance that life is never what you expect, it just is and maybe you're not lost at all.

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.
