1. Complaining is not doing.

If you're only complaining, then nothing will be fixed. Be proactive. Take on the initiative.

2. Complaining elevates your problem.

Once you start complaining about something, it will be the only thing you can see. And it will irritate you more and more.

3. Complaining makes you more irritable.

If nothing is resolved with your complaints, it will make you angry.

4. Complaining changes your frame of mind.

If you're already in a bad mood, then everything will become annoying.

5. Complaining about one thing, makes you more prone to complain about other things.

When it rains, it pours.

6. Complaining can be exhausting.

It takes more energy to remain angry than to find the good.

7. Complaining weighs on the people around you.

When you complain everyone gets to experience it. That's not fun for any friend, even a good one.

8. Complaining eliminates all possible positives within a situation.

When you're so wrapped up in the bad, it's extremely hard to find anything positive.

9. Complaining is a vicious cycle.

The more you complain, the more you will complain.

10. Complaints don't look good on you.

Bottom line is, there are so many good things. If stuff is not going your way take a minute and be grumpy. It's okay. But after that, find the good things and think about those.

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.
