3 Reasons To Believe

"I am an ordinary man who worked hard to develop the talent I was given. I believed in myself, and I believe in the goodness of others." -Muhammad Ali

Too believe. What a feeling it can be. Waking up to an unknown attraction towards what can be. What potential one possesses or how we suddenly find ourselves overcoming obstacles that we thought were undefeatable. Not believing is a disease. When I say that I do not mean when we do not believe in God, Or a mystical being. Rather not being able to believe in yourself is deafening. Its a sign that the darkness is winning. Your defeat can be imminent and that no matter how much you scream and shout, your situation will NOT change.This is when you need to get up. You need to break and define this silence. You have to believe. Here are 3 reasons why you need to believe in not only your fight but yourself.

1. Its automatic DEFEAT!

That, "How could this happen?" feeling takes over your entire body. All your fears come true and you find yourself blaming every decision you have ever made. You basically gave up without a fight! If you want to be able to win. To get what you want. You need to fight. To fight you need to believe.

2. Believe you can and you are half way there.

I do not believe this needs further explanation. Believe to give yourself that motivation to get you where you need to go.

3. When you do not believe in your own self. How can you expect others to believe in YOU?

Its hard to find people who are always there for you no matter what. People that will believe in you when all is lost. Show them their faith is in the right person. You owe them that much at least, Right?

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.
