Bad Year To A Good Year

End of the Grieving Year

20
Bad Year To A Good Year
Dreamstrime

So the year has come to an end, and everyone can breathe a tiny bit easier. This year has actually been the worst possible year considering the deaths. 2017 is closing in fast so I can finally say goodbye to this crappy year and say hello to a year that I hope will be a whole lot better.

Now before anyone says anything, this isn't about the election. To be honest we've voted for some bad presidents in the past. But this article is about everyone and all the bad things that have happened this year. Seriously, we've had youtubers, actors, singers and wrestlers die. This year to me has just been one big grieving time to remember those who've passed. Literally I thought we were done until Carrie Fisher died. Who's next, Betty White?

Seriously the two that impacted me the most was Christina Grimmie and Prince. Christina shocked me since she was a contestant on The Voice and a YouTuber, and when she was murdered it was after her concert in Orlando. Really? She was one of those people who wanted to make a difference. Prince was Prince. Seriously he is a legend of music. I literally wanted him to do at least one more tour. He was my mother's favorite person in the world. I've always wanted to know why he was so popular because everyone knew him, even if I've never heard his music.

Any possible way you think about this year, it's been nothing but death. 2017, however, I sincerely hope that this year is the birth of kids who will become legends in the world and a celebration of love, life, friendship, and affection. I hope 2017 is a time for rebuilding, redesign and birth of a new world so we can move on with all of the crap that has happened over this year. I can honestly say everything has been severely dark and sad. Thanks for nothing, 2016, except heartbreak torment and grieving. So in the end, 2016 is going to be gone soon so I'll ask 2017 to please, and I'm begging you, to be great for everyone and everything, please. Cause we can't have another year like this. Seriously we cannot have another year like this one since it was that dang terrible.

Goodbye bad year and hello to a great one.

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.
