It's okay to take some L's

When You Bet On A Guy And Lose

Girls,

We all know what it feels like to not believe guys in today’s world and this screwed up generation. When we decide that we have a crush on a boy and he all of a sudden starts talking to you you have to talk about it with your friends first. Some of your friends are going to motivate you to talk to him but others are going to tell you not to do it because maybe they have heard some not so good things about this boy and he doesn’t have a good track record. OR more common than not in this world the negative friend telling you not to talk to him doesn’t know anything about him but she has lost faith in boys completely at this point.

I’m here to tell you that if you bet on a guy and lose that it is completely ok. It’s life. Either way you bet you are living your life. Maybe you bet that it wouldn’t work out because you have no faith in guys, your friends convinced you not to do it, or you don’t like what your hearing and you don’t want to take any chances. It is completely okay to protect yourself from guys. Maybe after betting that it wouldn’t work out it ends up he would’ve been a good chance to take. But you already made that choice, your opportunity has gone and passed.

Or maybe you bet on a guy that it would work out and you should take a chance with him and you lost. That is also completely okay. Every girl needs to experience that or will experience that once in their life. You can regret it but there’s no point because it’s a chance you took and at one point you thought it would work out and there is no shame in believing in something and chasing it even though it may not work out. Like I said before, it’s life, it’s called living. Without mistakes we wouldn’t be able to make the right choices and maybe find “the one.”

I think that in today’s world everyone thinks there’s one right way to do things but if I am being completely honest with you there isn’t. You can’t follow what someone else is doing because it worked for them. You had to do what’s best for you or at least what you think is the best for you.

So I say, if you bet on a guy and lose I am sorry but good for you. Take your chance but know your worth. There is a whole big world out there and so many fish in the sea. Find your fish. You may take a few L's but when you find "the one" it's all worth it.

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.
