As Many Stars There Are In The Sky

Just like the amount of stars in the sky, there are that many opportunities for you to shine.

As Many Stars There Are In The Sky
Futurism

For all of you who think that you can't become someone or that you can't do anything, I just want to tell you, that you're wrong. You are absolutely, positively, one hundred percent, wrong. dead wrong even if you prefer that saying. Every single one of us was put here to do something with our lives, to be someone we would be proud to be at the end of the day. We weren't supposed to just be born and then that's it, nothing really more to do. No, you were placed on this Earth to become someone, so stop thinking that you're worthless and find what you are good at.

Stop moping around, trying to get others to feel sorry for you and see what you can bribe away from them and get good at something and do that. There are so many people in this world who just munch off of other people and it's annoying. It really is because you were meant to do something yourself. All of us have something special about us and most of us are just content with riding on other people's success. You can have your own success if you work for it and actually do something about it. And I know that that may be hard for some, to actually work for something, but it's better than always being known as the person who leeches off of other people.

I can go on and on and on about how you need to find the inner potential in yourself and actually do something that you enjoy and stop believing everything will work out even though you have never done anything to benefit yourself but I'm afraid I'd start to sound like a hippie (the inner potential part) or my grandpa (the do something with your life part) so I'm going to stop. But, really, it isn't hard to actually put your mind to something and do it. It's so simple and you'll enjoy it so much more than just hanging onto to other people's lives and siphoning off their success. To be able to do something, get credit for and recognition...isn't that worth more than just barely scraping by?

You have a reason to shine, just like the stars do at night. Given, they are millions of years dead and we're alive but that's just a technicality really. It's more of a thought, a saying to get people motivated. Anyway, you have something to give to this world, even if you don't believe you do. You just have to find what it is and work on it so that your time on this Earth wasn't spent binge watching shows on Netflix and ordering take out because you're too lazy to cook something. Because sooner or later, you'll find that you haven't been anywhere, you haven't done anything that you always wanted to. You'll be in the same spot you were when you first started believing you weren't meant to do anything important and that will be such a waste, because you could have gotten up and thought, "I am important and I can prove it." But instead, you didn't believe in yourself and you didn't do anything and it will be such a waste.

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.
