Embrace Your Adventures And Live A Little
Tamara Ready

Your sense of adventure is peaked the moment you find the love, and thrill, of whatever it is that you're doing.

Adventure will come to you in so many different forms throughout this life. For some, this may be the breathtaking journey of climbing high mountains, sailing treacherous waters, or flying around the globe. For others, this may be a memorable drive down the coastline with enjoyable company, starting a family, or simply changing the route in which you walk your dog on a daily basis. Regardless of how you do it though, enjoy it. Even if they do not seem like a big deal to others, it doesn't matter, because those moments were really all for you.

Our adventures are our stories. They are our past, our present, and our future. Keeping this in mind, there should never be a day that you can't experience one, or prepare yourself for another.

Just think about it: one day you're sitting at home wondering what your next big moment in life will be. You think to yourself, "I want to go on a trip and sleep under the stars." So, you do. You set out on an adventure to the forest and do just that. You kind of just go for it.

Obviously it isn't always as easy as this seems, but if you have the opportunity, why not give yourself the journey you can tell amazing stories about afterwards.

If anything, these moments should feel unlike any other. Like Peter Pan said: "to live would be an awfully big adventure."

Sure, everything is made easy and simple with pixie dust, but even through the rough patches, you can still find reason to have a great moment to live in, and an equally as great memory to look back on.

Even for myself, with all of the mini trips I enjoy going on, there are still the adventures I have difficulties with. My education for example. It's been a roller coaster of a journey, with ups and downs (this may or may not reference my GPA,) but throughout it all I have had a miraculous journey studying and participating in something I care a lot about.

Needless to say, only you can experience your adventures. And when you experience them, you should tell your stories, love your memories, and endearingly look forward to what's to come next.

Adventure is out there. And it can, and will, find anyone and everyone. Whether you know that you need it or not. And when it happens, you're going to find it memorable.

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.
