100 Songs For Impossible Things

Sometimes we experience moments that are indescribable. And because we can’t bring others to feel what it felt like in that very moment, that memory remains easily accessible. Words are powerful, in a sense, but feelings are just that much more powerful. Take both and put them together, well, that’s music.

Now, obviously no one has the same exact music taste. I will tell you now, this playlist is partially inspired by the hit TV series One Tree Hill. Before you cringe, here's why: I remained highly skeptical of the show before I ever watched it because everyone watched it. But I ended up loving it, because the choice of music is what made the moments. I commend the episode revolving around Peyton, her birthmother, and "To Wish Impossible Things" by The Cure for it's beautiful and graceful sorrow. It's not just the words that make you want to cry, it's the violin, the drums, and the guitar. It is the music.

So, if you are feeling anything from the kind of excitement you get when you see someone you haven’t seen in a long time; to the longing of desperately searching for something lost; to using all your strength to keep your voice from shaking and your tears from falling; to some, all, and any forms of happiness; to the frustration and anger of being the one and only one; to the kind of broken that only love can cause, I guarantee there is something here for you. I'm not saying these are the best songs ever written, not at all, but they certainly speak to me, and I hope just one song speaks to you as well.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
