My Shyness Doesn't Run My Life

Writing is always there to help me express myself

Do you let your insecurities run your life? Are you one of those people that must have other people's opinion to do stuff?

My shyness used to run who I was until I found the outlook of writing. I write to feel inspired and to feel great about myself in a positive way. I don't care about the negative opinions of others I focus on the positive messages I read. The positive messages help people because the negative messages just put our hearts down. Your words speak louder than your actions. I let my voice be heard in my words. People say, "do something you love, and you never will work a day in your life." I don't consider my writing as a job, but I do consider it as something I love.

When one door opens, another one closes. When I got introduced to writing, the door that closed for me was my shyness. When writing I find my heart and I find the person that I want to be. That person is a positive, bubbly person that doesn't let the negativity of others run her life. Your works can reach other people and help them be inspired in a new way that they haven't seen with their own eyes yet.

Often, we let money run our lives because we think money will buy us happiness, but it just makes it worse. Yes, we need money to live, but I would rather write to feel inspired and happy than to have a million dollars.

Writing tells a story of who you are, it gives us a piece of someone's heart. Writing opens a new world of so many different things like imagination and creativity. We wouldn't have some of the greatest authors today if it wasn't for their hidden talents that inspire us.

Writing is my hidden talent and I am glad that I found this open door.

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.
