The Best Things In Life Are Truly Free
Hunter Ruediger

Everyone knows the popular saying that goes, "The Best Things in Life are Free." In all my experiences, that statement holds very true. Everything that will stay with you your whole life are usually free. The best things in life are free, people just need to see it to believe it.

One of the best things that are free are relationships, whether that is a friendship or a romantic relationship. Both of these are free (or at least should be) and we as people benefit greatly from these. Also, if you pick the right ones, they will be with you the rest of your life. Now, of course not all will go on with you forever, but there will be some that do and those are something to lean on throughout life. Through thick and thin, relationships will be a most valued asset anyone will ever find/have.

Another thing that is free throughout life, that is one of the most valued things I can think of, is family. Some families might not be the best, but for the most part, from what I've experienced and heard, family is there for you and don't expect to get paid for being there. You can't pick your family and they can't pick you, yet they are there for you and love you no matter what. Those traits are something you just can't buy. Family is another thing that can be with you through your entire life and you have the opportunity to create your own family and continue the cycle.

Something that a lot of people take for granted, that is also free to us as humans, is the Earth itself. The Earth gives us plenty of sights and sounds that sometimes feel out of this world amazing, and the Earth doesn't get paid for it and it is all free. Nature can cheer you up when you're feeling down, like when you walk outside and it is nice and warm and sunny. Things like that just cheer you up so much and guess what, it's all free.

These are three things that are a part of everyday life and all are free, and will always be free. These things will be with you your entire life and will boost life in general for you. There are lots of things that can be bought to keep you happy, for what seems like forever, but these three things will be with you for good and only they will bring you true happiness.

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.
