It does get better.

Keep Pushing Through Whatever You Are Dealing With

Did you ever think what the world would be like without you?

Well don't because there is so much more to the world than you think. You just have yet to see it.

Many of us are at the age where we have to start acting like adults and leave our childhoods in the past. I have struggled with this part in my life this past year, well because who honestly wants to grow up? It is apart of life, but it should never be a reason why you would question your existence, no circumstance is that harsh. God put us on this earth to make a difference not to question ourselves.

I have to constantly tell myself, "It will get better". Why you may ask. Because being a college student with depression and anxiety is never easier. There are days when my depression will consume me and make me believe staying in bed is best for me. Yes, it is comforting to lay in a bed all day and do nothing, but if I let that happen, then I am letting depression get the best of me. Life tends to be unfair sometimes, but you have to keep pushing and fighting. You deserve to be here as much as anyone else does.

I know I am not alone in this. You are not alone either in any situation. Mostly everyone will go through life and come across a conflict quite like mine or even yourself. It took me awhile to realize this. Please don't take too long to realize it before it is too late.

Life is a about making the best out of it every day. Once I started letting all the negativity out of my life and kept reassuring myself that I have a voice in this, I became to realize that this life isn't too bad after all. You just have to push through it. There is so much joy and adventure in life. I cannot wait to see what my life has in store for me. I know if I continue to tell myself that I am okay and that it does better, then I will be exactly where I want to be with my happiness and life. If you feel the same way as I did then I am telling you now; You are the only person who can help yourself. It all starts with you.

There is much more out in the world. Do not constantly limit yourself because you are scared, you can make a difference in the world. When I stopped limiting myself, that is when I start enjoying and appreciating my life more. Be brave, be kind, but most importantly; BE YOU! The world would most definitely not be the same without you. You are one of a kind.

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.
