They say you'll never fully realize you were in a toxic relationship until you've been out of one for a long while. You could have friends point it out to you on countless occasions, but you still have yet to see what is right in front of your own eyes. Once you begin to realize it, you tend to remove all the negative aspects in your life and replace them with positive ones.

After a few days, you realize that you're feeling a billion times better- when you cut ties with a toxic person overall. Whether you decide to do something "sinful" to try and distract your mind from all the overthinking you've done, you realize that you CAN do it. You start to become an unstoppable force.

As long as you start to have faith and hope within yourself, you're able to overcome any obstacle in the way. You can achieve what you want in life once you begin to learn and let go. Being in a toxic relationship is something that nobody sees coming. It all takes time to even begin to realize that someone is toxic.

Whether they become that way due to someone hurting them that badly and messing with their head, or from some other issue that they may have been facing that has messed them up mentally & emotionally. Nobody deserves this either.

I myself had suffered from a toxic relationship. I couldn't see the signs, but many of my friends could. I wasn't sure of the signs or anything, but distancing myself from it now shows me them. I was basically kept with tabs, and little trust was given. I focused on making myself better coming out of this.

Sometimes it still gets to me. Other times, I brush it off. But I can honestly say that I am so much stronger and better off than I was. Focus on something that you want to improve and let go of all the negativity from a toxic person.

You'll feel a lot better in the long run, it just takes time.

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.
