The Things I've Learned Through Breakups

We all know how bad breakups suck.

What sucks the most, is the fact that you go from talking to the same person every day to never talking again.

You lose a boyfriend and a best friend all in the same day.

It is strange to think about how people stay together for years yet leave so quickly when things go south.

You feel like your world comes crashing down and you will never find someone who once made you so happy.

If I have learned anything from my previous relationships, it is to not put all your happiness into one person. There is so much around us to be thankful for, not just one person. You have your family, your friends, our awesome God, and a beautiful world we live in. Also, the happiness you find within yourself. I wanted to remind you of those things because sometimes we grow apart from those people or things when we start dating someone.

With that said, I want you to be aware that a person you care so much about could turn their back on you in an instant. If that does happen, do not allow that one heartbreak determine where your relationships with others stand.

After all the things that come from the whole heartbreak process, like little to no food intake, plenty of tears, and a lot of wondering where everything went wrong. It has all made me realize what I truly want from a relationship with someone. Not just what I want, but what I deserve. What everybody deserves.

Everyone wants to have the perfect relationship they have always dreamed of. With that to come, you have to be patient.

You will go on dates with different people you end up having no connection with what so ever, and that's okay. Do not try to rush into something that you know is not going anywhere. You will know when you are attracted to someone when you get excited to hear from them and drop whatever other plans you have to go spend time with them. It is during that time when you give that person all of your trust and honesty and they do the same in return. From there, you will know what it is like to be respected and cared for rather than mistreated and lied to.

All the pain you have suffered from previous heartbreaks were lessons learned. Trust your gut and give yourself time to heal. I promise no matter who walks out of your life, someone better will come along.

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.
