Why You Should Never Get Too Comfortable

Change is a good thing.

Why You Should Never Get Too Comfortable

My personal motto has always been to look out for yourself, because in the end no one ultimately understands what you truly want. Creating the image of having a simple temporary happiness is more reliant in not getting hurt in the long run. As much as people deny it, people change which causes things to change. You let down your guard as soon as the walls start coming down. Sure, things may seem well or you may get tired of trying so you plan to simply settle, however, this creates the notion in your head that you will be accepting of the “good enough” instead of being the “best”. Always striving to have the best for you should be the ultimate goal.

Being safe and comfortable sounds the most comforting, but is it such a bad thing to want more out of life? Creating new goals and going through different personal experiences is what makes everything worthwhile. Going out of your comfort zone to fulfill your capabilities and living to the full extent of your life can go further than anything you will need for full satisfaction within yourself. Life is uncertain and as most of you have seen in your daily occurrences there will always be unexpected obstacles that come your way that you will be forced to overcome. By overtaking that challenge, you are challenging yourself because you know you’re able to do better. By acquiring that mindset, you can strive for bigger goals, the good can be turned into better.

As it goes with being too comfortable with others, realize that people change too. One day they might wake up wanting one thing and wake up the morning after wanting something else. That again is life coming to bring more unexpected curves down your path. You never know anything for certain in life, including the people that will stay in your life and those who may only be temporarily there as a lesson learned.

Having the image of always moving around in a constant rush rather than settling seems uneasy at first but realize that it’s what you’re doing every day. Simple things like figuring out what you’ll have for lunch or taking a different route to work can change things from the simple norm. By changing the original, you end up getting different outcomes. Different outcomes is what you'll want to choose especially when it comes down to the people you want in your life and how you want to live that life.

The whole point to all of this is, never settle for less. Even though you may say you don’t know what you want, deep down there is something every individual needs and that is happiness. By keeping your mind open to the possibilities of reaching your utmost goal can reach your ultimate satisfaction.

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.

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.
