I'm a hypocrite. But guess what, so are you. How many times do you hear the words “do what you love”, “dream big”, or “Just do it”, and how many times do you yourself say those cliché phrases. Let me answer that, you say it all the freaking time to people and you hear it all the time. This is where the hypocrisy comes in play. You say this, just like I do, but you know that you will never actually do any of these things yourself.

So, since nobody wants to be a hypocrite, let’s stop. Stop spending your nights looking at pictures on Instagram of other people living the life that you want and make a change. Take that insanely crazy jump and go for it. Travel to the places you’ve always dreamt of going to. Follow your dream of becoming a professional athlete, a singer, an artist, a certain career, a scholar, an Instagram model, the next bachelorette, whatever the heck it is, do it. Close your eyes and think of the one impossibly amazing thing that you have always dreamt of. Then, throw away the thoughts that are telling you it is impossible.

A dream is called a dream because for some reason everybody has decided that these amazing wants out of life aren’t realist and therefore they gave them the name, dream. Who had the right to decide for everybody in the world that what they want the most is “unrealistic”. Replace the word “dream” with “goal” and work towards it!

We are all so incredibly lucky to live in this world and so few are taking advantage of it! Stop settling for what is reasonable and start taking some risks. There are no limits. So ask yourself if you could be or do anything you want, what is it? And I dare you, better off I double dog dare you, to go for your dream.

Or, just ignore me and go back to bed, you can always dream there.

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.
