10 Things To Tell Yourself Every Morning
Kaitlin Didinger

In this day in age, many people tear themselves down because of what they think about themselves and what other people think about them. Sometimes, to try to love who you are, you have to cut the toxic people out of your life, the ones who tell you that you can't do it or tell you that you're not worth it. Here's a list of a couple things you should tell yourself every morning.

1. You are worth it.

No matter what anyone says, you are worth the fight. Don't listen to anyone who's going to tear you down.

2. You are beautiful.

If anyone, and I mean anyone tells you that you're anything less than beautiful, they're wrong.

3. Put yourself first.

Sometimes it's okay to put yourself before others. If you're constantly worrying about making everyone else happy before yourself, you're not going to be happy. It is impossible to make everyone happy, so work on yourself first for once.

4. It's okay to be selfish.

Like I said above, sometimes it's okay to be a little selfish and take care of yourself. If you need a day away from everything, take a day. If you need a vacation, take a vacation. Go eat a meal alone. Spend a little time with just yourself.

5. Everybody has bad days.

Everyone has days where they're not themselves for some reason. While it is not, in any way, okay to take that out on others, it happens. Don't take some things too personally. You are the best at being you and that's all that matters.

6. You're the best you out there.

Nobody's better at being you than you are. Don't let someone take that from you. Be true to yourself, because you are great.

7. Relax.

Take some time to just sit and relax. Listen to some music. Watch some netflix (just not greys anatomy because that's not relaxing).

8. Look at puppy pictures.

If you're anything like me, you might love dogs. Take some time to spend with a dog, or if that's not possible just look at some puppy pictures. They're really cute and I'm sure something will put a smile on your face.

9. Smile.

You have a beautiful smile. Show it to the world.

10. Don't care what people think.

It doesn't matter what people think of you. All that matters is what you think of you.


Take care of yourself for once.

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.
