20 Reasons To Never Give Up, Even When You Want To
Cassandra Romkey

There are days when you want to give up, when you want to crawl into your bed and just sleep because dreams are better than your life, or so you think. When these things happen and you wonder why you're sleep walking through your day, there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. You have come so far.

I know the journey has not been easy, but you have made it so far, why throw it all away so fast?

2. People love you.

There are so many people out there that look at you and see so much, so many people that love you, and just want to see you happy.

3. You are smart.

You are brilliant, you have common sense, you're smarter than most think, you're even smarter than you think.

4. There is no one else out there like you, and you cannot be replaced.

There is no one else like you out there; you are one of a kind, you could search high and low and there would still be no one like you.

5. Your life could change, if you want it to.

If you aren't happy with the way things are then change them, it's not about what's happening in your life, it's about how you handle it.

6. Nothing feels better than success.

Some days you may feel like everything you do is a failure, but those days that you succeed are among the best in world, and there is no better feeling than that.

7. You have been made stronger through this journey.

The journey may have been tough so far but it has made you stronger than most others.

8. You have learned so much.

You've learned so much through all your struggles, school teaches you how to add and subtract but real life has shown you how to act, feel, and handle difficult situations.

9. It could be worse.

It could be worse. It could always be worse, just look at it that way.

10. You inspire other people.

You don't know it but other people look at you everyday and you inspire them to move mountains.

11. Failure is inevitable.

The only failure in life is never trying.

12. Things can only get better.

You can only go up from the bottom of the ocean.

13. Prove other people wrong.

The only thing better than being successful is being successful even when people think you won't be.

14. Anything is possible.

People say it all the time, but it is true. You can do anything you put your mind to.

15. Because you can change the world.

Even if you change the life of just one person you are changing the world and I hope you know that.

16. You deserve to be happy and alive.

You deserve to be happy, you deserve to live and see the world in the most positive of lights.

17. If you give up you’re telling yourself that you never thought you could do it in the first place.

You should give yourself a chance, if you put faith in everyone else why can't you put some in your self?

18. You never know what will happen.

Life is a game of twist and turns, some days you're up some days your down, you don't know what tomorrow brings.

19. Anything amazing and worthwhile is hard.

You have to work in order to end up where you want to be but you're already on your way.

20. You are important.

Do not forget that.

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.

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.
