In life, it is so easy to go through the motions and forget about the beautiful things that should definitely not be taken for granted. Our days become repetitive, the hard times get harder, and our experiences can become dull. Sometimes, it's helpful to step back and look at the things that are truly magical wonders within this crazy thing we call life. Here are some of my favourites.

1. The breakthrough of spring.

2. Warm weather.

3. Feeling the sun on your skin.

4. Sitting in the grass and hearing the birds chirp.

5. Seeing people happily in love.

6. Knowing that even if you aren't the one happily in love, the next day holds another possibility to be.

7. Warm hugs.

8. Friends that make you laugh.

9. Family.

10. A good meal.

11. Chocolate.

12. Music that speaks to your soul.

13. Cats.

14. Also, dogs.

15. Cuddles.

16. Good movies.

17. Having things to be passionate about.

18. Seeing old married couples.

19. Seeing someone cry of happiness.

20. Changing someone's life with just one act of goodness.

21. The butterfly effect.

22. Genuine smiles.

23. People who hold doors.

24. Seeing people advocate for love and equality.

25. Kindness.

26. Authenticity.

27. The enneagram.

28. Spontaneous adventures.

29. Hand written letters.

30. Phone calls from people who mean a lot to you.

31. Good books.

32. Great theatre.

33. Being able to sleep in a bed.

34. Cozy blankets.

35. Raspberries.

36. Chicken. Nuggets.

37. Forgiveness.

38. Self love.

39. Seeing someone that you after a really long time and having a cinematic reunion.

40. The smell of flowers.

41. Dancing in the rain.

42. Accepting the beauty even in the times when life feels most messy.

43. Forehead kisses.

44. Hope for better days.

45. Activism for a better world.

46. Nature, which connects us all.

47. Comfortable silences.

48. Untainted humanity.

49. A gorgeous sunset.

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.
