5 Things To Remember When You're Feeling Down

Everyone knows that life can be a rollercoaster—one minute you might be having the time of your life but the next moment, everything just isn't as wonderful as it seems. Maybe something happens unexpectedly or maybe things just aren't going your way and you feel as if the whole world is just crumbling around you. So here are five things to remember when you are feeling blue:

1. It's not the end of the world.

Yeah, it might really suck right now, but you have to remember it's not going to last forever. Don’t let it get the best of you. Try to keep striving on. It is easier said than done, but just remember in time it will get better. I promise.

2. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

I know you just secretly sang that to yourself.

Maybe you are going through a breakup, mourning a death of a loved one or just flat out having a bad day. The pain you feel might feel like someone is just ripping you apart, but there is always something that comes out of experiences, sometimes it can be lesson or just what to expect. Next time you'll be ready, more prepared at what life swings your way and maybe it just won't hurt as much.

3. It is OK to cry.

Life is hard, I won't argue with that. Sometimes a good cry or even letting yourself feel the way you're feeling strangely makes you feel better, so go on and let it out.

4. Have a dance party.

Sometimes being alone is what you might need—a little free time for yourself, without having to feel like anyone is watching or breathing down your neck for once. Crank up some music and have a dance party. Dance all the bad away, it sure helps when I feel like I am on the edge.

5. You are a badass


That's right, you are a badass and don't let anyone tell you anything otherwise.The feeling will pass so keep going. Life goes on and there are many different things to experience, so don’t let anything slow you down.


You might be having a bad day or a bad week or even a bad month, but in time things will get better, I promise. Just remember you are a survivor. If life wants to swing anything your way, just remember you will get through it.

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.
