Embrace The Good And The Bad Days

After a crazy past few months, it feels like life is getting back on track. We all have those days, weeks, months, or maybe even years where we ask ourselves where is my life going or what am I supposed to be doing. That's how I have been feeling the past few months. I have asked myself so many questions and so many times I felt like I didn't have the answers. It took a while, but I feel like I am starting to find the answers and even a fresh start.

The way I see it, I can either look at the past few months of my life as just full of struggle and hard emotion, or I can look at it as a time of growth, learning, and strength. Yes, the time was a struggle, but it only made me stronger. Yes, the time was full of anger and sadness, but that only made me grow and learn how to better myself. We need those times of confusion, heartbreak, and struggle to take a step back and realize what is going on in life.

I've heard that it's up to you to find your happiness, and after pondering that thought for a while, I believe it to be true. Yes we will always need other people, but when it comes down to it, you are the one who has to chase your dreams and accomplish them. Nobody can do that for you. It takes those bad days for you to realize what you really want out of life and if you haven't thought about it, you probably should. After you start chasing the life you want and it may seem like the good days keep coming, a few bad days might show up. And it's okay to be angry, confused, sad, lost or any other feeling you will feel, but you have to let that encourage you and not tear you down.

Life is full of perspective. A lot of people say you can look at the glass half full or half empty. I say you can do both because nobody's perfect. Some days you feel like you can change the world for the better and some days you will feel like you can't change out of your pajamas. Although, pajamas would be comfy to change the world in.

It's perfectly normal to have bad days and it's really awesome when you have the good ones. They both make us human and shape who we are supposed to be. Looking back on life it's crazy how many good days I have had, but it is also crazy to think how many bad days I have had. I'm finally starting to piece everything back together and figure out what I want. Life is tough, but believe me you are way stronger than you think you are and with those really good and bad days, life is incredible.

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.
