A LETTER TO MY LEARNING DISABILITY

Dear My Learning Disorder:

Hello there! It's me, that girl. The girl whose body your currently running around inside of. (or at least that's what it feels like). I hate you, and no matter how many times I break down crying because of you, I am also very grateful for you too. Grateful that you made me into ME. You made it so I didn't want to believe in myself. You also made me into a person I am proud of every single day. Someone that is one of the hardest working people I know. I am 10 times better than you make me feel.

After many years of having you in my life, I've came to the conclusion that it is time to address some things. I want to start off by thanking you for opening my eyes to the creative side of life. You taught me that I am incredibly intelligent. You taught me that to succeed, I need to climb a mountain 20 times higher than the average person and I accept that. Sometimes I feel that without you in my life, these things wouldn't come so naturally. The amount of times that i've felt knocked down by you can almost out number the times that you made me even stronger. But without those challenging times, I wouldn't be anywhere near the person that sits here right now writing this. Overall I want to thank you for helping me become the person I am today and aspire to be in the future. Because of you i've become the best version of myself and will continue to stay this way for the rest of my life.

THANK YOU

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.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.
