Everybody And Every Body Needs (Self) Love

You have the power to create the best day.

With today's type of culture and society, exercise and eating healthy is in a bigger push than ever. We see many people start fitness social media accounts or food blogs and I know I have said more than on one occasion how I wished I looked like *insert name.* It is so much easier to tear yourself down and see all the impurities rather than saying, "wow I really love *insert aspect.*" I am sure everyone has something about them they would like to change and either are working towards that goal or not.

In a world like now, everyone needs to be more positive about their body and give enough self-love.

You are perfect. If you decide you don't like what you see, then change that. It is your decision to change for you and you only. I hate hearing someone is changing because they want to fit in or that is what is trendy or someone told them so, that is complete bullsh*t. No matter what anyone says, hear this, you are perfect and you should see that.

I know, I know, so much easier said than done but having confidence and love in yourself. I found a lot of myself love and body positivity while reading poetry. The way it makes you think and embrace every aspect of yourself captivates me. In one of my favorite poetry books, "I Wrote This For You," one of the last poems says:

That the sun will rise each day and it's up to you each day if you match it. That nothing matters up until this point. That what you decide now, in this moment, will change the future. That rain is beautiful.

And so are you.

Remember each day you have the power to create the perfect day and make the best you possible.

It doesn't matter if you are a size 4 or size 14 in women's or size 27W or 40W in men's, embrace your beauty, your positivity and self-love. Don't forget to occasionally treat yo self, because you deserve 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.
