Everybody is given a different life, but that's what is unique. We are all different humans. The reasons wanting to explain why I am who I am isn't to entertain you, but it's to embrace the person beneath us all.

1. Personalities

Everybody is defined in their own way. I am defined within my personality. I am wild, but exciting. I have an open mind, but a warm heart. I know how to love, but be serious too. I am okay with my traits because this is how I grew up becoming. I grew up with struggles and challenges; don’t we all? Overall, your personality is what makes you, you.


2. Having Energy

Without energy you can be sadder, than happy. I am full of energy. I am always making others so excited that they will want to get up off their feet all the time. I think of it this way, why be so down all the time when life is just too short? Living your life, full of happiness, and excitement will keep you moving forward.

3. Making Your Own Decisions

While being you, decisions come into your way. You make decisions on what next step in life you are going to take. Whether getting a new car, or move away from home is a good idea or not. Either way, without a support system, you will be sitting right where you started. That’s when the person you are comes in. You use your skills, talents, and personality to understand if that decision is going to be okay for you or not. I make decisions off my likes and dislikes, others may be different.

4. Your Body Is Beautiful

You were given this body to love, and to embrace. Just because social media tells you otherwise doesn't mean you can't show the true you. We all need to love our bodies, they are all sorts of different shapes, sizes, and colors to show our true beauty. Our bodies help us understand the person we are, and that's amazing.


5. This Life Is Yours For A Reason

Everybody is given a specific life but making it your own is going to shape who you are. You become the person you are by learning and understanding the life you were given. You make your own decisions, you make your own traits, and skills, you are the one who makes your life the way it is.


If you don't learn the life you were given, then how will you ever be okay with the life you are given?

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
