"There are far better things ahead than any we leave behind"

There's something about losing your way that changes you in a way we can't explain. You get frustrated, you get confused and you start to lose your ways. Really, sometimes life gets in the way and you start to feel like you're changing as a person.

Your personality changes from you to vague, you really can't seem to find happiness in anything you do, and you yourself are drowning within yourself.You lose interest in things you do and things you love, and you change your emotions towards the ones you love.

You have to find that fate and good when you feel lost. We are all growing as people. We are all only human. We have our good days and our bad days. We make mistakes; we live and we learn. We have so much support and love around us we didn't even know it.

Without my family and close friends, I would be nothing. My mom is always there to listen and guide me through tough situations. She made me realize I serve a greater purpose in life than to be sad about situations or faults I had no control over.

Understand that everything happens for a reason. It's OK not to be OK for a while. Things always get worse before they get better. You have to have faith and keep going. Take those baby steps into each day.

There will come a day where you realize turning the page is the best feeling in the world because you realize there's so much more to the book than the page you were stuck on.

So in the end sometimes you have to lose yourself to discover who you might yet be. Sometimes what feels like breaking down is really just breaking free. There's no statute of limitations on starting over and reinventing yourself.

Be brave enough to find the life you want, and courageous enough to chase it. I promise the day you truly find yourself again will be the day you quit trying to fit into a world that was not fit for you or your happiness.

Always remember your value isn't in your doing or saying--it's in your being.Your worth is far beyond what you know, my darling, so just keep the faith.

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.
