Best is yet to Come

The other day I came across a quote that I felt really impacted the way I was thinking about things lately. So many of us through both good times and bad times constantly. People who we thought would be in our lives forever hurt us and can even kick us again when we're really down. When these things happen it's natural for us to get angry and negatively change the way you think about friendships, relationships, and people. Although it's true that not everyone has the same heart as you and that some people are cold enough to do terrible things, it's important to maybe try to handle hardships in a more positive though process. The quote I came across the other day was, "We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us". When people hurt you it's hard to let it go but it's important to know that it is OKAY for people to leave your life. Most of us have this though of how our lives are and should be and aren't open to change. I'm telling you to let go of those toxic people in your life. God brings those people in to make you stronger. If you finally let go of those toxic people, situations, and energy, you'll see that new people and things will enter that actually help you and make you happy. The life God has planned for us could even be better for us than the life we have planned for ourselves In our head. In conclusion this quote really inspired me to do three things: be open to change, okay that sometimes things won't make sense, and always stay true to yourself.

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.
