Everyone's Life Has Different Timing

Being envious of what other people, including your friends, have will get you nowhere because the grass always LOOKS greener on the other side. In reality, it is greener wherever you water it! Everyone is on a different life path! When your friend gets married, you should be truly happy for them because this could be the love of their lives; being jealous of your friend getting married isn't great though. However, just because your friend is getting married now, doesn't mean that you won't get married in the future. So, recognize that you're envious and then try to move on and be happy for her as a good friend!

Of course, getting married is just a random life example. There are so many things that you could envy your friends over, but you should do your best to be happy for them! It's easy to be envious when other people's lives are going great, but your moment to shine will be here! Your friend's success does not automatically equal your failure. It just means you are both on different life paths with unique timelines.

Your life has its own timing and when you're destined to do something, it IS going to happen! And your friends will be there for you and smiling, just as you were for them. We all have different timelines and certain BIG life moments will happen at different stages in our lives than our friend's lives. Just recognize that if it's something you truly want, all you can do is give it your all and hope that it works out for the best.

Try to be patient and live in the present moment, because it'll all be worth it when your time comes to shine.

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.

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.
