If you're looking for a sign to change, this is it.

If they have a big enough mouth to be up in your face they have a big enough mouth to apologize. Cut them out!

That job you hate

Life is too short to stay in a job you hate, perhaps it's time for a career change. What's worse than wasting 2, 5, or twenty years is wasting twenty years and a day. For those working part time, that minimum wage gig where you are getting paid the same amount as everyone else to bust your ass while they sit on theirs is not worth it. There's other ways to make money, start applying elsewhere STAT.

Not putting yourself first

Do yourself a solid and stop being everyone's doormat. Sometimes silence is the best answer. It's not your job to make everyone happy.

Your bad habits

You are your own worst enemy when you skimp out on sleep, procrastinate, or don't take care of your body. These things seem small but make all the difference and add up.

Relationships that make you feel the type of tired which has nothing to do with sleep

Get rid of these leeches or keep them at arms length, before your soul is sucked out of you.

Recollections of anyone it hurts you to think about

Why are you saving those pictures of those friends who stabbed you in the back, and that guy/girl who didn't realize what they had until it was gone? The Instagram archive feature and the trash exists for a reason.

Not being an opportunist

Stop waiting for opportunities to reach you, go get them! Use your connections, update your LinkedIn, post that video, join that club- whatever it is that excites you, don't let another year go by that you aren't shooting for the moon.

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.

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.
