10 Things I Would Rather Have Than A Million Dollars

I want to be remembered for my love, not my wallet.

10 Things I Would Rather Have Than A Million Dollars
Quotesgram

1. A supportive family.

Who needs a million dollars when you have a family that you know will love you unconditionally? To me, this is worth more than money could ever buy.

2. Close friends.

Friends and family truly are everything. A good support system is crucial to living a life that makes you happy and touches others. Your support system would never really be complete without good friends by your side.

3. A loving boyfriend.

What would I do without my boyfriend? He is my number one fan, my best friend, and a part of my family. He will forever be my rock and my guiding light. If you find someone who makes you smile when he walks into a room, don't let him go.

4. A cat.

Cats are one of God's greatest gifts to humankind. My cat is an angel. She always knows when to come cuddle with me, she keeps me warm and dries my tears. I wouldn't be half the person I am today without her by my side, or should I say, on my feet.

5. A dog.

Not everyone loves cats, but almost everyone shares a mutual love for dogs. They are like little (or big) rays of sunshine that view their owners as the purest and perfect humans. They can really do no wrong, in my opinion.

6. Respect from those who know me.

I have worked so hard to be the person I am today. And part of that is keeping up a respectful image. I want the people I respect to respect me in the same manner. I want to be someone who parents use as an example for their children, and who my peers look up to and follow.

7. Good grades.

Part of being a respectable and happy person is keeping up on grades and schooling. I would rather have all A's than a million dollars, because, with those A's, I could earn a million dollars myself.

8. I would rather make a difference.

I want to do something that makes a difference, and be known for that. To me, that is so much more crucial than anything else in this world.

9. I would rather be known as someone who cared for others.

I strive to be compassionate and be known as someone who is. In these times of division, I strive to be there for everyone and anyone who needs it.

10. I would rather change the world.

And I hope someday I can look back on this with a smile and know I did everything I could to do so.

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.
