Appreciate Your Little Things

Celebrate your little things, no matter how small.

On days where I'm feeling down, feeling myself, feeling happy, feeling angry, or maybe even in my feelings, there are so many small things that just make my day. It's always said to appreciate the small stuff, and lately I've truly been noticing how important this is, to notice and appreciate the little things around you and about you. Everything, I've truly noticed in my life recently that warrants celebration, appreciation, love, and so much more.

When I make my toast for breakfast and it ends up perfectly toasted.

What a nerd I am about The Golden Girls - but come on, who doesn't love Betty White?

How I laugh at my own jokes, even when they're maybe not that funny.

My very cheesy dance moves, especially in the car - my mom loves these too, right mom?

Listening to the same song 67 times in a row if you want to.

OR watching the same movie multiple times in a row as well - because if I want to watch Moana for the 8th time today, I'm doin' it.

The mini dance party you have when you're really vibing to a song.

Looking at yourself in the mirror and calling yourself a hobo if you really want to - don't we all feel like hobo's somedays?

(Yes, even this.) Feeling personally attacked by the "screen time" feature on the iPhone update - sure Apple maybe I was on my phone for 11 hours total today, but let's keep it on the low, mmk?

When your motivation app pops up and reminds you that you're a queen and to not let your crown fall.

Going through your selfies to just hype yourself up and remind yourself how cute you think you are.

Talking to those who make you happy and positively influence your life.

Watching your 14th video in a row when having gone down the YouTube rabbit hole and not regretting a single moment - yeah I'm watching a cat circus....your point is?

Listening to that sad song you like that makes you sad even when you're in a good mood.

When your makeup turns out just right, even when you didn't do anything different than you do every other day that you put it on.

Putting on that favorite shirt for the 3rd day this week, because you just love how you look in it.

The moment where your cat is nice for a few minutes in the midst of being a jerk 98% of the time.

Taking off your shoes after a long day of school, work, or whatever you've got going on.

Giving someone a compliment because they just look like they need to be told what a cute human they are or that their shoes are the best things you've ever seen.

Stopping an extra time in front of the mirror because you're really loving how you look today.

I could honestly go on for days about the little things for me personally that are always little victories and things I love or whatever they may be, even if they're annoyances. All of these little things make life how it is and without them, it wouldn't be on the journey to whatever you're trying to find, achieve, etc. Celebrate your little things, no matter how little, and realize just how important they all are to making you who you are.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
