Dreaming Big is Life's Greatest Obstacle

The question of day: How do you pull it off?

Dreaming Big is Life's Greatest Obstacle
pxhere

One moment, I'm attentively listening to a lecture on electrostatics, and a split-second after, my mind swerves out course and there I am, in a fantasy. Holding on to a vision so vividly almost hindered my conscience. All in all, my normal life is beneficial enough, executed in its routine manner, but having the visions I know I am destined to be in, even if it isn't in the very moment, is definitely worth the distraction.

Day by day, I've become increasingly suspicious of the word "Morr." The idea is intimidating, and at the same time, it invites my to expand my boundaries and the abundance of success. Of course, the positive intention behind the word is the underlying courage, but then again, we are told that overconfidence will ultimately lead to your doom.

At times, I ask myself whether I am capable to hold faith in my occasional fantasies. If my mind trails in this path, then why haven't I conducted the motivation towards initiation? I fail to find the melodious harmony between mind and body as one is directed towards the future, while the other is pursuing the present in a juxtaposing manner.

Earlier this year, the universe reminded me that I held the mentality to survive, despite the immense pressures. It was in the moment where I forbore my ambition, in which I expected the least, that I lived the most. On this day, the universe informed me that I stopped myself from carrying solid burdens daily, the clouds would part, in which I would be able to see clearly.

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.
