Authenticity Leads To Your Destiny

“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” -Dr. Seuss

I believe that the most important thing is to always believe in your authenticity; believing in your true self. If you do this you will end up where you are destined to be. You can’t get to where you are meant in life without staying true to who you are. I don’t think we can get anywhere in life without waking up every morning and doing what we love because it means something to us.

Not because it means doing something that the beautiful and famous people do. But, because being yourself feels so much better. If you want to look up to famous people then think about how they got there. We see so many successful people who are so unique and considered “one in a million.” But, that’s not because they wanted to be just like the person next to them. They knew who they were and pushed to be the best version of that person. They stayed true to their beliefs and their authenticity. If we live our lives based on the motives and styles based on someone else, we will be living for that person, not ourselves. We can so easily get wrapped up in this and start living a life that isn’t what we truly want or what we are supposed to have. Doing this ultimately comes in-between us and our destiny.

Most people find the concept of staying true to yourself difficult because of the fear of what people will think of you. That’s when you have to remember the good saying by Dr. Seuss, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” You must learn to only surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are and support what you do. Besides that, there will be some people who aren’t rooting for you, so along with the people who are rooting for you, you must root for yourself.

Some people may not have the same thoughts and actions as you but, that’s what makes you different from everyone else. That’s what makes you your most authentic self. Everyone has their own personality. Everyone has their own self. Everyone has their own destiny.

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.
