You Deserve Better

You don't just deserve better, you deserve only the best.

Whether it be a toxic friendship or a messy relationship, you deserve better. Hold yourself to a higher standard and don't settle just because one friendship or relationship didn't work out. Don't blame yourself and say it was your fault for why it didn't work out. Some things just aren't meant to be, and you can't help that. Some people are only meant to be in your life for a brief amount of time.

You deserve better than waiting around for them to realize what they are missing. Don't let anyone treat you like you are less than your best, and don't be with someone that doesn't bring out the best in you. You deserve better, and you deserve to move on.

It's not giving up. There's a difference between giving up and moving on. Making to decision to be happier is not giving up so don't be afraid to let go and move on. Because what is not meant to be will never work out. Everyone in your life serves a purpose, and one day you will realize that purpose.

Don't get caught up in the past. Don't stress about it because the past is over and there is nothing you can do to change it. Don't desire to change to past. Live in the moment because you deserve better. Don't dwell on the "what ifs" because there is no changing it. Once you realize you deserve better, you will realize how small the things you were stressing about are.

Then, you will strive for better and hold yourself to a higher standard. No one deserves to stress about someone who just wasn't meant to be in their life. It just wasn't meant to be, and there isn't anything you can do the change that. But you can pick your head up and live in the now and be happy.

Do not feel like you weren't good enough for them, and don't make up excuses for them. Just learn to let go and realize that you deserve much better. Let go of your insecurities. You're not perfect, but neither is anyone. Don't get caught up in perfection because it is impossible. Just focus on learning how to be the best you that you can be.

Just because they didn't see how amazing you are, doesn't make you any less amazing. Let go of your worries and doubts in yourself, and focus on yourself. Make yourself happy, surround yourself with amazing people, and be yourself. Love yourself and realize that you deserve to be happy.

Learn from those bad days and grow from them. Don't wallow in self-pity because they made you feel like less of a person. Be thankful for these opportunities to learn and grow. Use them to become the best version of you, and never settle for less than you deserve. You don't just deserve better, you deserve only the best.

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.
