You truly do not know someone based on their outfit.

You Do Not Know Me By My Outfit

So, let me get this straight—you are going to sit here and tell me the way someone dresses portrays a person's true character? Well, in a way I guess you are right because if they look like they do not care about life or looking decent then they may actually think that.

But I disagree. Let me explain: someone can be the nicest dresser in the room and they may seem as if they have it all together but, in reality, they do not. Someone can dress and seem as if they have nothing and have everything. Now, in reality, if someone dresses as if they have nothing people will think they have nothing and will not want to speak or do anything with that person. Correct?

If someone looks as if they have it all together everyone is going to want to speak and introduce themselves. Correct?

We are taught to work with or do things with the person who is looking their best. Correct? Someone stop me and let me know if I am wrong. Your parents or someone you look up to tell you "Those people over there. Do not be like them." Giving us the mindset of someone who could give us a negative impact on our lives.

So what is the point of this article you may be asking. The reason behind this article is to explain that style is one of the grey areas of the world. No matter how you look on the outside if the person does not know you, they do not know your background. Since they do not know you, they now can create some alternate life for you that may not be you.

For example, I will use myself from what I have been told I dress as if I am from DC or New York to people who do not know my background. In reality, I am from Lancaster, South Carolina, a very small town. In this gray area of style and perception, there is no winning. So, when you wake up expect someone to think of your life in a different way! So dress presentably, folks!

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.
