Don't Be Afraid To Show Your Love
Katie Pyle

We all have different ways to express our affection towards others. We all care about the people close to us, in different ways and for different reasons. But what we all need to remember is to show our love, affection and appreciation for these people.

Our lives take us down different paths that lead us to different people. Some people are meant to be in our lives for a shorter amount of time than others but they all play a huge role in our life story. One decision leads to the next and when we look back at certain points in our lives we can see why certain things went the way that they did, whether it was the way we wanted it to work or not. The 'or not' is the scary part in that realization. When we're lucky, we find some pretty incredible people at the most random times in life, the difficult part is not knowing the role they're meant to play in our lives and the role we're meant to play in theirs. We may be there for the rest of the journey or for a short period. Even though this isn't necessarily the happiest realization, it does allow us to see how important it is to embrace and love everyone that comes into our lives.

Show love to the people that matter to you, if you care about them let them know it. Don't be afraid to come off as 'clingy' for expressing your emotions or thoughts, chances are, if you feel that way, they feel the same. You make memories and share moments with these people. Cherish those. Some people are meant to be in your life forever and it's just meant to be... cliché but true. No matter what a person's role in our life is or our role in their life, we may never really know, but what we can know is that we truly care for them and they care for us. We need to express it so that they know how much we appreciate having them in our lives.

Everyone has different love languages and ways of expressing themselves, I've said it before. Some people aren't as good with words and show it strictly through actions, while some are better at expressing their feelings through words....With different caring actions to back it up of course, maybe not as up front as some would hope or look for but the actions are there. The only thing that's really important is that your love language is genuine and true and when it is, that's all you need.

Things fit together for certain reasons and our path takes us in different directions than we would have ever chosen for ourselves, but it creates our journey while we are a part of other people's journeys too. Show the people you care about that you appreciate them. Don't ever be afraid to show people how you really feel. Find the people that make you happy and you make them happy in return. Keep showing your love and loving the people by your side.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
