Life is all about the little things that make you smile. Sometimes, when you’re in a low place, all you need to think of is the simple things that make you happy for no reason.

This is for those days where you can’t seem to find any sunlight in the clouds. This is for when you’re having the worst day possible and can’t find any good in anything.

This is to remind those of you who are in bad places in your lives that there is plenty of good things in life, and you can find happiness in the smallest of things.

1. Coffee!

2. Naps!

3. Beach days; feeling sunkissed and tired from just sitting on the beach all day!

4. Sunsets!

5. Sunrises!

6. Singing along to some good tunes in the car with your closest friends!

7. Finishing a really good book that you wish never ended!

8. Those nights with your friends where you talk about everything and open up about things you’ve never opened up about!

9. Road trips!

10. Watching your friends achieve their goals in life and fall in love!

11. Bonfires!

12. Taking pictures in cool, new places!

13. Musicals!

14. Baking (even if you’re bad at it)!

15. Getting a new foundation!

17. Movie nights!

18. Hot cocoa on a cold night!

19. Fresh sheets!

20. Realizing you’re falling in love again!

21. Telling the people you love that you love them!

22. The first kiss with someone you’ve been dying to kiss!

23. Butterflies!

24. Text messages from unexpected people!

25. Ice cream!

26. Meeting new people!

27. When random strangers compliment something about you or your outfit!

28. Complimenting a stranger!

29. Friendships that are bursts of positivity!

30. Realizing how great the people in your life are and how much you adore them!

31. Waiting for something you’re excited about!

32. Watching a really good movie for the first time!

33. Discovering new songs that put your thoughts into words!

34. Getting new lotions and perfumes!

35. Nights where the sky is full of stars!

36. Freshly shaving your entire body!

37. Reaching a goal that you worked so hard for!

38. Nights where you have no homework!

39. Laughing so hard your sides hurt!

40. Realizing that you’ll be okay!

Even when there are days where going on with life seems impossible and there aren't any reasons to be happy, I promise that there are so many beautiful things about life.

There are thousands of good things in life and there are always reasons to live.

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.

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.
