There is nothing wrong with you.

There is nothing wrong with giving all of your love to someone or something. There is nothing wrong with being passionate. Driven. Understanding. Compassionate. Generous.

You are not clingy. You are not creepy or crazy or psycho or insane.

You're just you.

It's hard loving someone more than they love you.

There's no rule that says you have to take it slow. No guard pushing you back from the edge, telling you that you're not allowed to jump into deep water and love someone with all you have.

They always tell you not to pour all of yourself because you'll wind up empty. No one tells you it's okay to be empty.

It's okay to be you. It's okay to love too much.

People need to be loved forcefully. They need to be loved without compromise. They need to be loved violently. With all your strength and might.

It's scary. It's scary loving someone so hard and so much.

But that's the point.

Being with someone is scary. Caring is scary.

Loving is scary. But when you love someone and you love so much, you love the ugliest parts of them. You love their scars and their skeletons. Their stories and experiences become yours. And you never run out of love for them.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Love is patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins. When you love someone you are loyal, expect the best of them, believe in them.

Your love is not suffocating. It's not annoying. People have to be shown that they are deserving of love; deserving of your love, regardless of what has happened to them in the past. Love is hard. So damn hard.

But for you, someone who never seems to run out of love to give, love is special. You're special. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise. What you have to offer is incredible and most people don't have the opportunity to ever experience the kind of love you have to give.

"They say love knows no bounds. I don't know about that. I feel like I've seen the bounds and pushed them a couple of times. Love definitely has bounds. I've seen where it ends."

So love fearlessly. Push the boundaries. And don't be afraid to love too hard. There's no reason to treat your love like a currency. There's no reason to be cheap or a penny-pincher when it comes to love.

There is nothing wrong with you.

Loving too hard and too much is not weird.

It's what makes you, you.

And we should celebrate 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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
