When It's Okay To Give Your Heart A Break

We love to love and love to be loved. It's in our nature as people. But sometimes, it's okay to give your heart a break; your heart NEEDS a break.

Let the past be in the past. Let it go. Move on. It may seem hard or even impossible, but if you've spent days, weeks, or even months without that one person who you thought you couldn't do without, guess what? You can go a whole lifetime without them.

Forget about those that broke your heart. LET THEM GO! They're really not worth another chance because if it didn't work the first hundreds of chances, what makes you think it will work this time? Don't text them during the holidays. Don't text them when it's their birthday. Don't try to make things work with someone who doesn't try even just half as much. They might have been your better half at one point, but it's okay to let go. If it's meant to be, you might find your way back to each other. But don't rely on that, because you probably won't. For now, it's better for you, to simply let go.

It will hurt, but you have to LET YOUR HEART MEND. It'll take time, but that's all you really need; a break with time.

Go out, have fun, go on adventures, travel, read a book...find what makes YOU happy, and do what makes you happy.

The whole point of life is to find yourself before becoming a whole with another person. Become a whole by yourself first.

Spend time with family and friends and just have fun. Love is not something that can be rushed. Don't look for it, don't not look for it either. LET IT BE. It will find you when the time is right.

Let your heart forget them with time, because that's the best way of healing and mending your heart. In the meantime, FIND YOURSELF.

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.
