If You're Having A Bad Day, Read Me
Magic 4 Walls

It seems like this time of the year bad days happen more often than they should. I am guilty of letting little things bother me. The little things build up and instantly ruin my day. But there's a lot of good things you may not realize when you are down in the dumps. There are so many more beautiful things in your life that you are ignoring because of the bad things that are going on in your life. Here are a few examples:

1. You are loved.

By your friends and family, they love you unconditionally. Maybe they caused your bad day, just remember at the end of the day they love you unconditionally just as you love them back.

2. You are important.

I am guilty of feeling like I don't matter to anyone. This is wrong. You are important. Your message, your life, and what you do with it matter. It may be hard to believe because you may not get recognition for things you deserve, but everything you do is important and means something.

3. You are strong.

On your worst the only thing you can do is move forward and learn from situation. It's okay to be sad, but what you learn from each situation makes you who you are and stronger everyday.

4. You are beautiful.

Inside and out, you are beautiful. Remember the good you do and the smiles you bring to people. That's what beauty is. Being able to touch people's lives and make their days by the simplest actions.

5. You are making a difference.

Success doesn't happen over night. It may seem like you are making as much progress as you want, but just remember good things take time. You may fail, but you what learn from that moment will define you as a person.

6. You deserve to be happy.

Let the bad things go and focus on the things that make you smile and who you are. Life is too short to let the negative aspects of your life control how you feel and live your life.

7. The sun will rise.

It may seem like your world is collapsing in front of your eyes, but it's not. Just a bump in the road. Don't lose sight of your goals or who you are.

Smile, everything is going to be okay <3

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.
