The benefits of living a chaotic life

44
Work, Work, Work
Ava Diaz

I don’t think I can make it through a day without my agenda. My daily routine consists of me following the pre-made schedule that I crafted the night before. I know many of you cannot comprehend this statement, but it’s all I can to do get a sense of order in my chaotic life. Often times, I question if I’m even human. I swear I’m equivalent to an energizer bunny. I tend to have a full work load through school, dance team coaching, dance clubs, babysitting, hanging out with friends and the occasional nursery and hostess shifts sprinkled here and there. In essence, there is nothing I love more than being busy.

Obviously it is nice to have a “chill day” here and there but when I have a consistent schedule of absolutely nothing I begin to feel a sense of imbalance in my life. The constant structure of my schedule provides me with the ability to stay on task, be involved and stay attentive. I’ve been living this lifestyle for as long as i can remember. The constant go-go-go approach is pretty much what I’m used to.

Though my lack in sleep can take its toll, I like to consider the fact that (for the most part), I’m doing something remotely productive with my time. With this, many think I’m crazy for constantly involving myself in so many different commitments however, I’m doing these things for me. Yes, I know this sounds pretty self centered, but I choose to do these things in order to gain a stronger sense for who I am and what I value most in my life. I love to be involved and to feel like I’m doing something positive to benefit myself. Obviously overtime my responsibilities begin to pile up however, the degree in passion that I put towards each action only makes everything so much worth it.

I’m not advising you to over book yourself, I am working to persuade you to get involved with activities that you genuinely enjoy. Do what stimulates your mind. Do what develops your being. Do what will benefit you in the long run in any instance.

*I am capable of taking on the world. I am one who puts their passions first. I am aware of my capabilities and contributions to the environment surrounding and together I can work to share my interests in a positive and orderly fashion.*

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.
