20 Little Reasons To Keep Going
Taylor Green

1. Music

No matter what kind of music you listen to - rap, pop, country, rock - it doesn't matter. It has the power to save you, to let you escape your mind. Let it.

2. Family

They will always care about you, no matter what.

3. Friends

No matter what happens, friends never want to see you upset. They also are a reminder that we are never alone.

4. Scrapbooking (or other crafts)

It's the best way to feel productive when you don't want to do school work, so it's a definite win.

5. Ice cream

So many yummy flavors. Does it really need an explanation?

6. Movies

There are literally thousands of movies to watch. Some of them are too good to not watch twice :).

7. Books

Get lost in the plot of any book. Stories have the power to transform our own mind.

8. Coffee shops

If you don't like coffee, go in for the smells, or the vibe. Either way, totally worth it.

9. Exploring new places

Even if it's just a ten minute drive to the nearest small town, there is something awesome about seeing something new for the first time.

10. Dogs

They are the definition of unconditional love. Everyone deserves to feel that.

11. Cats

If you're not a dog person, cats still show just the right amount of loving.

12. The sound of the waves at the ocean

Instant relaxation.

13. Vacations

They're basically just week(s) long breaks, but they're awesome.

14. Sunsets

Just one more excuse to embrace the end of a day :).

15. Sunrises

and the beginnings of them, too.

16. Pizza

Cheesy goodness in every bite.

17. Baking/cooking

Whatever you make smells delicious as it's cooking, and you get to eat it afterwards. What's not to love about that? :)

18. Hot chocolate

There's only one thing better than a chocolate bar... chocolate you can drink.

19. College sweatshirts

They are quite possibly the most comfortable item of clothing ever created.

20. Did I mention ice cream?!


Seriously, is an explanation really needed?


“Above all else, we choose to stay. We choose to fight the darkness and the sadness, to fight the questions and the lies and the myth of all that’s missing. We choose to stay, because we are stories still going. Because there is still some time for things to turn around, time for surprises and for change. We stay because no one else can play our part.

Life is worth living.

We’ll see you tomorrow.”

- Jamie Tworkowski; founder of TWLOHA

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.

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.
