8 Changes I Need to Make

1. Forget about what other people are thinking.

I often think about what others think of me too much. To be able to focus on me more than others is something I need to try more. I should try to believe that only my opinion matters, not anyone else's.

2.Just be happy.

I often times find myself feeling sad when I ought to be happy. I would like to change this about myself. Life is a beautiful thing and I should be happy to be living it.

3. Feel what I need to feel.

Feelings can be tough for me sometimes. I need to learn to just let myself feel what I want to feel.

4. Have thicker skin.

I am often too sensitive for my own good. I want to be able to have a thicker skin so things won't bother me as much.

5. Don't forget that I am beautiful.

At times just like anyone else I can feel like I am not the prettiest. However, we are all beautiful in our own special ways. I may need to remind myself of that sometimes.

6. Battle my fears.

Battling your fears can be tough at times but it needs to be done. You will never be free until you start to battle your fears.

7. Realize I'm not perfect.

I often times look at myself and think why can't I be perfect. However, the truth is no one is perfect in this world. We are all unique and that's okay.

8. See that it's okay to make mistakes.

Mistakes can often be mistaken for failure. They should be seen as ways to help us get to our goals. If you make a mistake, it is just a way of showing you that what you are doing isn't working and you should change 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.
