5 Things I Believe In

A little bit about my five beliefs.

My name is Kensie Smull and I am new here, and am not quite sure what I am doing, so let me start with a few things I believe in. If you disagree with me, that is fine, I would love to discuss your opinions with you!

1. I believe that the way to find yourself is to search yourself.

What this means is that while you may know who you are in the first couple years of your life, it is important to question what you believe, how you see the world, and what you feel. And on top of that, it is okay to change who you are if you feel something better suits you.

2. I believe No one else can ever feel exactly what you do, nor can you feel anything else that someone else does.

So while this may seem self explanatory, it seems to confuse quite a few people. I do not believe anyone should tell anyone else that their feelings about something should be seen as invalid and wrong. So if someone tells you that your feelings are wrong or you need to change, ignore them, for they don't know what they are feeling.

3. I believe in equality for all and that it is through our differences we find love.

What this means is that I am a huge human rights advocate, and a total believer in diversity. I believe what matters is not sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sex, or whatever else should make someone treat a person differently, because frankly, that makes you a jerk. I believe it is our differences that make us strong, and that we should acknowledge each other's differences and still love one another.

4. I believe that animals have souls.

Now this may sound hippy dippy, but I believe animals have souls, and as a result, am a proud vegetarian. However, I refuse to become an obnoxious vegetarian who tells everyone else they shouldn't eat meat. See Belief Two for the reason why. However, I do ask people not be a jerk in return and tell me to eat meat.

5. Lastly, I believe that Truth will set you free, and full honesty never hurts anyone.

I say this as a disclaimer, that my posts are going to be extremely honest, and that I may end up offending some of you. If that happens, tell me why you are offended, but I will not apologize for my Truth, and I will listen to your side of the Truth. But I will never be anything but totally honest.

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.
