What is Perfection To You

I am not perfect. I used to hate that about myself. I always wished that I was prettier, skinnier, more confident and outgoing. I wished that I was the person that everyone would want to be around. I wished that I could walk around with my head held high with not a single worry. I wish that I could have told myself that none of this is really all that important. I have learned that it is actually good to not be perfect. It is okay to only have a few friends because they are actually good and worthy ones. They are the ones who keep me grounded. I think that being perfect has many different meanings. To some, it could be constantly being surrounded by tons of people out in the world and to others it could be as simple as being home alone on a Friday night reading a good book. Perfection is what you want it to be. Society has tried to put out a certain perfection that is wanted by so many people. The pressure to do certain things and to look a certain way. I am much more comfortable being myself. I like not being pressured into doing things that i do not want to do. I surround myself with real people who bring positive energy and who are perfect in their own ways. I have no desire to live up to unrealistic expectations of how I should look and feel. The truth is that I am not about to feel or look a certain way because a celebrity does. I want to be comfortable with myself, it took me so long to become comfortable and I want to stay that way. I have stopped updating my social media stories so much because I have no time to, I am out working and living my life. The best moments of life are the ones that you do not have time to document. To me a day where I do not have a snapchat or instagram story are the best days. I do not need to feed into the movement of updating everyone each time I move. No one needs to know. I know I don’t. If it is interesting to you or if it is something unique then by all means let the world know but if it is just you going to get food or walk around your house, then really no one needs to see that. Be the kind of perfect that makes YOU happy. Do not worry about the amount of views on your instagram or snapchat story, worry about what is happening in the world, the more important things, worry about YOU. Be present in the world in a more positive way. Embrace the life you have and each moment that it gives you. Life is too short to worry about being perfect. Go out and live your life to the fullest, upload the pictures later.

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.
