4 Feelings You Should Never Take For Granted
Violet Alexandria

1. Falling in love

In the beginning, love is not something people take for granted. It always seems to happen fast, and it is something you take time to enjoy. However, over time, love is something people seem to forget about in relationships. After spending a long period of time with someone, we forget how it felt to fall in love with that person. We forget to take time to enjoy the little things with that person and we end up spending more time focusing on the bad things. We remember the feelings of happiness and love, but we remember it more as something that we used to feel. However, it does not have to be that way. We need to take time to remember love as it is happening rather than letting it die down so that we don't have to look back on it and we can enjoy it forever. Take time to stop and smell the flowers. Please don't take your loved one's feelings for granted.

2. Hugging someone you've missed

When you're away from someone for a long time, you'll naturally start to miss them. When you finally see that person again, one of the best feelings is wrapping your arms around them and participating in a long embrace. Feeling the warmth of the other person in your arms and smelling their familiar scent helps dismiss the frustrations of being apart from that person for so long. Most people these days feel like intimacy is something you have to save for your significant other, but it's not. Hug your friends. Tell them you love them. Destroy the stigma that you can't love anyone but your significant others.

3. Seeing your pet everyday

A lot of people take pets for granted, and I don't think that's right. This animal is something that looks up to you with nothing but love and affection, and a lot of folks don't seem to realize that. Your pets are wonderful little creatures that will be there for you when no one else was. They'll sense when you're sad and try to make you feel better. They'll be the cause of endless hours of laughs and good memories. All they do is love you unconditionally, and they don't understand why you aren't reciprocating those feelings. You need to love them back because one day they won't be there anymore, and you will wish you had loved them when you had the chance.

4. Finding a new band/song you connect with

Music is something that people of all shapes, sizes, races, and ages can relate to. It expresses your feelings perfectly even when you can't do it for yourself. When you find a new song or artist that you connect with, you get a kind of rush that's similar to falling in love. You feel as though you're with a person you've known for years. Music is an ever expanding universe of wonders, and every time you find a new band you love it's a whole new world of discoveries.

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.
