Experience Life

We should all live life to the fullest.

Experience Life

Life, we question it everyday, all the time. We are all existing until we experience life. And we are all living for existence...Until we are living for ourselves, we will never truly know the meaning of life and our own existence. To know the true meaning of life, we must experience it. Now-a-days, it is hard to just live our lives. Society now tells us to settle down by twenty-five with kids, and a mortgage, work, then retire and die. With that type of life, we are not truly living. We are not meant, as humans just to work until we die and have nothing to show for it. If all we are doing is existing with nothing to show for it, then we might as well live our lives the way we want to. Travel the state you live in, then move on to something better to see and experience in your life. LIVE YOUR LIFE! I have come across so many people who are completely content with where they are in life in their twenties. I say, those people are afraid of life itself. Life has so many great opportunities for us that we just pass up and miss because we are afraid of a change and afraid of life. We are afraid of life and experiences because now, we have the newspaper and the television and internet telling us what and who we should be afraid of. All of those things are telling us to be afraid to just be human. We all make mistakes, but now, we have technology that "sends out" the hatred and fear to install in us and to make us afraid and feel bad for our mistakes. We fear our lives based off of what other people tell us to fear because they probably fear it themselves. We shouldn't have to fear for our lives because "society" tells us to fear it. We should be living our lives the way we want to. Those people who are content being stuck where they are and regretting everything they didn't do on their death beds, they can go ahead and do so. I, however, will not let anyone tell me how to live my life. Since, we will ALL have nothing to show for it in the end, I will live my life to its fullest...

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.
