An Open Letter Of Gratitude
Anthony Delanoix

As I sit here and wonder how to compose this week’s blog for my audience, it occurred to me how pivotal you the audience truly are.

This is a thank you letter to each of you.

Thank you for reading along with me on this journey of self-love.

For the past four years now, I have expressed and exposed my thoughts, in hopes to get creating a positive influence on others. It is with gratitude that I can say I have received an overwhelming amount of positive reaction. I have a positive attitude on life and I have loved every minute of being able to help others have the same outlook on life.

It is incredibly humbling to hear from so many people each week, asking about Self Love Beauty and how I become involved. The support is overwhelming in the best way possible. Because of our follower base, which is continually growing, we have the interest, readers and supporters.

I thank all of you.

In many moments, as weekly publishing deadlines are quickly approaching I often wonder, how will this sound as some reads it? Will it resonate with just one person to make an impact?

Each week, I am surprised by those who reach out to express kind words after reading my posts.

At the beginning stages of my Self Love Beauty writing career, I can vividly remember thinking that the thought of writing on a frequent and regular basis could be overwhelming; managing time and fighting writer’s block.

To my surprise over the course of the past years, I have been determined to search out topics in my everyday life; whether that means following pop culture for inspiration, asking my mom for ideas or calling on Lisa, founder of Self Love Beauty for motivation.

I owe the most gratitude to...

Which brings me to the women I owe the most gratitude to in my Self Love Beauty career, the women behind this all, with her dedication, sleepless nights & incredible vision, Lisa.

She created a platform for stories of self-love to be shared, experienced gained and lasting friendships created. I don’t know someone with a stronger passion for self-love than Lisa. She is always willing to brainstorm, welcome guest bloggers, look at new creative ideas for our social channels; and works damn hard doing it all very well. It has paid off and I thank her for the experience.

Thank you with my whole heart to every follower, reader & supporter. You allow me to keep being my best beautiful self as a Self Love Beauty contributing writer.

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.
