Change Can Be Good, Depending On How You Look At It

Having a constant good in your life may sometimes require taking a step back at the same time.

There are the good constants in life. The ones where you are able to love what you are doing for long periods of time without ever feeling like you will leave it or give it up for other things. Yet, what if those other things deserve to have a chance in this life of yours?

Depending on how one looks at it, change can be a good thing. While it may not seem that way at first, later it can show the true colors of what is to come next. It probably won't happen within a second, day, or month, but most likely it will happen to you soon.

Changing the course of what you always thought to be true can be frightening, especially when it had been something you were doing for the longest of times, but if your heart isn't in it anymore, then why continue to do it?

Not only are you wasting your time, but wasting whatever thing you were a part of and its time.

It's time to be comfortable with the uncomfortable because that's the only way you will get those experiences in life and learn what other types of things you like to do. You won't be able to experience what this world has to offer if you are stuck in the same location when you know that there is so much more out there for you.

The world isn't ending, you aren't losing your mind or your soul for that matter, everything will be fine even if it doesn't seem like it at first.

However, that can be hard to come by, but sometimes it just requires you to breathe, taking it day by day until you are able to put your all in what you truly love.

Learning to give up one task or something dear to you for the other one may seem like betrayal but it's anything but. If you truly love what you are doing, but you want to incorporate it into another aspect of your life and dedicate more time on that end, you deserve to have that opportunity to do so. If it will benefit you and you want it with everything in our being then you have the chance to get what you really want.

You aren't quitting, but continuing another part of your life that contains so much more for you to discover. You don't have to worry, because you will be just as good as what you did previously as long as you put the same effort into the next journey.

So often society puts people down for switching gears, but you can only learn to drive if you test out those gears yourself until it clicks. Cheesy, but hopefully the point gets across to the readers. Change has the opportunity to show your true talents and the endless possibilities that await. Try to look on the bright side of things whenever possible.

Goodbyes don't have to be the end-all be-all, maybe you can come back. That is if they let you (sometimes it be like that, but you just have to prove those folks wrong).

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.

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.
