6 Things to be Thankful for

With Thanksgiving around the corner, taking time to reflect on what you're really thankful for is vital. It's almost the end of the year, and with that comes a lot of things to be thankful for. A year, 365 days in total, is a long time and you're bound to be thankful for something.


1. Family


Personally, family should always be something to be thankful for because they will always be there no matter what. Even if there's tension there, now is the time to reflect and see all that your family has done. Family is a bond no one can break.


2. Education

I know this may not seem like a thing you should be thankful for, but it should be. An education is something that should be treasured because some education is scarce in some places.


3. Obstacles


Hear me out, the daily struggles you're going through is something that should be something big. They're the one thing that made your year unique from all the others.


4. Roof

Having a roof over your head is a blessing. It really is.


5. Food

Just like having a roof over your head, food is important. Even if the food is not the best, having something to put in your stomach is huge because hunger around the world is real.


6. Clothes


Clothes are expensive and, even if they're not brand name, they should truly be appreciated. As long as you have clothes on your back, trust me you're good.


Honestly, it's all about the little things. Being thankful comes with a lot of reflecting. Now is the time to reflect, but don't forget about the things that are always taken for granted.

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.
