Choose The Path That's Right For You
Diarmbrust

During our whole entire life we begin with making a choice. From a very young age, even childhood ages we start to develop a sense of decision-making processes; every choice we make from then on out has an effect on our life. Every step we take and word we speak shapes and molds us into the people we are.

Our parents try to teach us right from wrong and how to choose what is best for us, but there comes a time when we have to make decisions on our own. Whether it be good or bad it is up to you to decide where and what you want to do in life. Choose left or right, right or wrong, the decision is yours. Life is not a straight path it has its ups and downs but in which direction you go is all on you.

Before a decision is made the pros and cons should be outweighed in any big choice to make sure you do the right thing. In some instances, there is not the time to make a pro/con list and the decision you make is based on instinct. For instance driving, you make the choice every day to get behind the wheel and face the possibility of a car accident and if that occurs the body's decision to "fight or flight" is based on your own personal instinct.

With all the decisions and choices we have to make there is one thing you shouldn't have to do, and that is to live with regrets. If you act in your best ability and choose what is best for you do not ever regret it. Do not let someone else push you to act out of character or refrain you from making your own way in life. You only have one life, live it!

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.
