Why Me?

The question we all ask ourselves from time to time

Why Me?

Why me? A question we all ask ourselves way too often. Whether it's a bad hair day, a tragedy in the family, or anything else that doesn't go the way we foresee it to go, we ask ourselves, why me? It could be the slightest mishap, or the biggest thing to ever impact your life that makes you ask your self those two little words. The thing is, we ask ourself the question, but how many times have you actually ever attempted to answer it? I think I can speak for most of us when I say the question often is drawn at a blank. I am going to take a shot at an answer for a change, though. I believe we are challenged with the mishaps in life for a certain reason, whether we like it or not. If you've ever noticed, each thing that happens to you in life is unique. It may be similar to something in someone else's life, but the situation never contains the exact same elements. I've came to the conclusion that we are faced with these situations because we are the only ones who can conquer them. We all have the capability to overcome the rough patches in life no matter how small, or how large they may be. Times get tough, they wear on us after awhile, but something can only last for so long. We are stronger than we think. We wouldn't be faced with things that god didn't know we could handle. We are surrounded by people who love and care for us and who can help us get through struggles. We just have to try and not give up. So next time something happens, anything, and you ask yourself why me? Remember, it's because you are the one who can push through in that given instance. Don't give up.

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.
