You Are "Adulting" Just Fine

If you're trying hard, then you're doing it right.

You Are "Adulting" Just Fine

We spend at least half of our lives trying to figure out what "Life" is. I don’t know this for a fact, no one really does either, but Life is this: It’s you sitting, or standing or laying down reading this article. Within that half of time we will spend about a quarter of it trying to figure out who we are and the rest doubting whether it’s good enough for everyone else. Some people are “ahead of the curve” and they figure it out a little sooner than you did, but even then the mighty can fall. Some people are born into it, a steady route to success. Yet, we’re all casualties on Earth; all of us just people, vulnerable to the woes and the gifts of Life. All of us trying to figure it out. All of us trying to find out who we are. So, relax, it’s okay. You are “adulting” just fine. Everything is time. Be patient.

Here are some Harry Potter quotes that, hopefully, help you sleep better at night when you're wondering "why?":


1.

Trial and Error. It's how we get back up that defines who we are. Try it. Again. And again. And again.

2

A friend of mine once said to me "don't worry about something until you have something to worry about." Cross the bridge when you get there.

3.

What is a life without love? It is what makes us utterly unique; that we can love beyond reason.

4.

I know this one is harder to do than to say. Try reminding yourself that you are good enough. There is no one on this Earth that is just like you. So who better to say what you're capable of then you?

5.

Don't get stuck on your mistakes; we all make them. Learn from those mistakes.

6.

This one... I couldn't say it better myself.

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.
