It's Okay To Not Have All The Answers

What is it about the unknown that keeps us always wondering and wanting more?

In my opinion, there are two different types of people in the world. The people who want answers and the people who avoid those answers at all costs. I myself am in the middle.

Why do people go back to things that nine times out of 10 they most likely shouldn’t? People are comfortable with whatever it is that they are going back to, regardless of if they actually believe that they deserve better or even more for themselves.

People would rather go back to their ex then take the time in getting to know someone else; it is all-around common sense with the human brain. People stay at their jobs because it is easier, and they just don’t want the hassle with finding a new one. People do not change because they do not want too.

If you resist change, you are going to stay the same while everything else is changing and passing you by and growing. I have learned that you must change to survive in any situation on this planet. Change is the only thing on this planet that is consistent, whether you actually want to change or not. Embrace what is happening to you.

You can be the person avoiding everything or you can be the person asking questions and getting answers. Listen, you aren’t always going to like what you hear or what you find out, but that’s the point; it is all about growing and it is all about learning from different things.

The road less traveled is the better path to take. Going after what you want is the better plan with a lot more opportunities. I am a big case with this and giving people chances, but I will be the first to tell you to give someone a chance, or give that new job a chance; it is better to know than to always wonder 'what if' about something.

It is always better to be able to grow with yourself and be able to handle the constant changes that life throws around in this world. Human nature is to always wonder and always wanting more. We as humans are just programmed like that; you always want to be better, it’s just what we do.

I think that the people who avoid answers do so because they already know the answer, but to hear it in real life makes it actually real. So by avoiding those answers they won't have to believe it. I am a culprit of this on occasions; there are some things that people just do not want to hear, and there are some people who will tell you what you want to hear so that they do not hurt you along the way, which in reality is just going to hurt you even more.

Regardless if you are the person who avoids the answers or goes out and chases them, you are who you are and that is perfectly okay. As long as you know you are growing and that you do not need an answer for everything that happens to you. There isn't always going to be an answer and you have to be okay with that.

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.

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.
