You Should Be A Source Of Empowerment And Here's Why
Preservation Of Moments

Today I'm going to discuss empowerment and why it's important.

I consider myself to be a source of positivity. I have a natural love for acknowledging others and empowering them. I don't think I have a reason, it's just how I am.

I just have a love for making people feel special because everyone is special. Everyone has a certain unique quality and I believe that it should be acknowledged more often.

A funny thing about compliments and empowerment is that we don't really believe those things until someone else says them to us. We just exist and we just take ourselves as we are and we don't really believe things until they come from someone else.

A key to empowerment is that you have to learn to empower yourself. You have to see everything you do. Everything you're capable of. You have to learn to love yourself and you will cross paths with the people you're meant to cross paths with.

Doing good brings good karma to you. Your efforts count. You'll cross paths with those people who truly make an impact on you and you'll make an impact on them too.

The most important thing is that you know you're being a positive force and it's not about what you get in return. You are genuinely being you and that's more than you can say for most people.

You take the time to pick people up instead of dragging them down. Far too many people forget that it's just as easy to be positive as it is to be negative. It's all about perspective.

You have to stay positive. The right people will find you. If they find you and they are an unstoppable positive force, consider yourself quite lucky, because it's rarer than we realize.

Be positive, before you get compliments and after. There's more to our existence than being at odds with one another.

I've probably said this a million times, but we are people. We are people living in the same lifetime, and we're all dealing with the same things.

We'd be doing ourselves a favor if we became a sounding board for one another. We're more alike than we realize. Keep in mind, I mean, equal, not identical. No one is the same. We are all different and that is something we should celebrate more often.

We should be open-minded. You never know who or what can impact you. You don't always have control of this impact, whether it be positive or negative, but there's a lesson that can be learned from everything.

I wonder sometimes. If you know me, you know that I'm very enthusiastic and supportive and I question myself if I go overboard.

I've run it past a few people, but everything seems to be fine. The reason why I question it is because I want to be a source of positivity, but I don't want to be a burden to anyone.

However, if someone who is overwhelmingly positive is the worst thing you have to deal with, it's not so bad. If you're having a bad day, I'll be there, spreading positivity. I guess my over the edge sharing of positivity makes up for all the positivity that isn't being shared around.

There's a possibility that I'm changing the world one person at a time, by being a positive influence. Good influence is always there for whoever needs me. My inbox is always open if anyone wants to chat about basically anything, I'm a sounding board to anyone who needs me.

Don't hesitate because I'll get back to you, always. If you need me, I'll be there because I never make promises I can't keep.

So, be a source of positivity and write to me if you want. I'm very friendly and you'll find out about my endless positivity sooner than later.

I hope whoever is reading this is having a marvelous day today!!

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.
