2019 Can Still Be Your Year

Even if you've already had a mental breakdown or two, don't forget to stop and smell the daisies.

2019 Can Still Be Your Year
Maddi Mangum

Okay ladies and gents, I get that we can be a little dramatic and sometimes it's comical… But it's four weeks into 2019, and just because of a breakdown or maybe even two doesn't mean this can't be your year.

There are a lot of hiccups that come and go throughout the year. Hence the saying, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger."

A lot of the struggles that we face aren't permanent and aren't life-altering. So why act like they are when one thing goes wrong in 2019? I think 2019 is the year we all realize there's something bigger in the works when not everything goes our way.

No year is perfect, and some are gonna be harder than others. But again, that doesn't mean it can't be your year because it got hard.

I can't think of one remarkable person who hasn't faced hardship, and for good reason. A lot of times, what makes people stand out or important is the things they accomplished while at their worst or in difficult times.

People have also altered their lives based on bad situations and made their lives 100 times better, helping both themselves and others in the process. For example, people with illnesses who survive and go on to help others with the same illness.

Regardless of what happens in between 2019 and 2020, DO NOT let the first month depict how the rest of the year will go. Again, I get it. It's funny when we are kinda dramatic, but I also know that smalls hiccups are not going to define your whole year…especially when it's only four weeks into the new year.

There's so much negativity that goes on. So why be a Negative Ned about the little things that definitely aren't going to ruin your year, when you can be realistic and know that your year can still be super bomb? After all, you have 11 months left!!

I'm just sayin'.

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.
