I Love Fashion Because I Like My Money Where I Can See It

Fashion is the unspoken language between groups.

Fashion is such a cool and unique way to speak without even saying a word.

It's a universal language between literally any person, culture or group. Your personality shines brightly through your ripped jeans and white tee. Maybe you're inspired by James Dean, or perhaps you were just born in the wrong era.

From just a slight glance, people recognize a style that they like.

High school is a pivotal point in a person's life, during which they're trying to find themselves and learn who they are. Fashion is there to inspire and break boundaries.

It's easy to get lost in all of the cliquishness of high school. Alas, style is there to be a stable community you can always run to.

Some people in high school masque their insecurities with fashion. They use it to boost their self-confidence, and that is really what it is meant to do - freely express your personality.

Once you find your sense of style, your confidence will be boosted. And that's an amazing feeling.

Knowing YOUR unique style is recognizable by the way you carry yourself.

Inspiring people to feel that same exact way is heroic. Not all heroes wear capes… BUT if you do, make it look good!

I wrote a paper during my junior year of high school, and I mentioned that certain clothes automatically toss you into cliques you might not want to be in. And sadly, that is true.

If you like dark articles of clothing, do not let someone label you as "goth." Or if you like Nike but you aren't athletic, do not be labeled as "athletic." Clothes are meant to be interpreted as whatever you want, but being mislabeled because of what you wear is not cool. (By no means, how women dress does not mean yes!!!)

Being confined to one group of friends gets boring anyway. Be friends with everyone. You will find yourself growing and learning from these people in high school. Always grow and learn from people.

Never limit yourself to one mentality or to one style. Switch it up! Keep 'em guessing!

Fashion is supposed to bring people together, not separate them. This includes any event for any age.

Embrace the uniqueness of people, and let people be happy.

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.
