6 Reasons Why Life is Amazing

"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." -Abraham Lincoln

6 Reasons Why Life is Amazing
Of Inks and Papers

1. You woke up today.

This is something that we don't even think about. We tend to think about the end of our lives in the third person as a way of coping with such a harsh reality. But in all honestly, if you hadn't had simply woken up, cringing at the thought of all those things you have to "adult" at today, you wouldn't be here. Cherish every moment.

2. You are loved.

Even when you feel alone, you are loved always. This is important, and I don't know how to stress this enough. You are loved.

3. You have the ability to change the world.

Whether by showing kindness to a stranger or discovering the cure for cancer and the perfect solution to alternative fuel, everything we do has an impact on this planet. It's the butterfly effect.

4. You can (and should) learn something new every day.

Your mind is so amazing that it can hold more knowledge than you could ever learn in a lifetime. So why not try to fill it with as much awesome info as you can? Better yet, pass your wisdom on to others. Knowledge is power, guys.

5. There are still good people out there.

This world we live in today is filled with so much hatred and judgment. We divide ourselves with hate, and some refuse to even take the time to understand why, and that is just plain silly when you think about it. However, there are still good people out there trying to fill this world with love and peace. And guess what, you can be one of those people. Just try to be a decent human being, please.

6. The sun rises, and the sun sets.

Have you ever stopped to smell the flowers? If you haven't, then let me tell you that you are missing out. We basically live in our phones now, but it is important to take some time to go outside and enjoy your planet. Notice how everything in nature is designed so perfectly to work together. Take a walk around the block. Go stargazing. Just take your earth in for the wonderful and vast place it is.

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.
