Today's society has deemed it unacceptable to show emotions or "have feelings." The constant trend of being heartless has consumed the younger generation and caused many to not be in touch with their inner selves. So, to anyone deemed too emotional or too sensitive, this is the perfect read for you.

As human beings, emotions are inevitable and that is perfectly okay. Emotions allow us to feel the various internalized hardships that we keep inside. These hardships can stem from the death of a loved one, a tough breakup, or an altercation that is merely a piece of the past. Regardless of what this tragedy may be, there is no rule stating that an individual must simply "suck it up" or "deal with it." The only issue is: sucking it up and dealing with it leads to another generation of the blind leading the blind.

Aside from internal hardships, being emotional allows an individual to have a true understanding of self. An understanding of self is vital in order to effectively guide others. Internalized issues can sometimes cause others to lash out on those who are just trying to help. It may not be personal on your end, however, it can cause others to stray away from you. However, mastering the art of being emotional can give some of the best outcomes.

Accepting emotions for what they are to you and not anyone else is one of the best forms of self-love. Not only will you feel better, but you can subconsciously help those around you begin to truly understand you for who you are.

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.

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.
