"For Once In My Life"
google

For once in my life I have someone who needs me
Someone I've needed so long
For once, unafraid, I can go where life leads me
And somehow I know I'll be strong

For once I can touch what my heart used to dream of
Long before I knew
Someone warm like you
Would make my dreams come true

For once in my life I won't let sorrow hurt me
Not like it's hurt me before
For once, I have something I know won't desert me
I'm not alone anymore

For once, I can say, this is mine, you can't take it
As long as I know I have love, I can make it
For once in my life, I have someone who needs me - Stevie Wonder

Those words are from a popular song by Stevie Wonder talking about finding that true love and feeling satisfied with the person you found is the person for you and you for them. I look forward to that day that I will place a ring on that pretty finger of my beautiful bride and to walk to the reception and sing this song to this beautiful heaven-sent blessing. How my family and closest family will have a new daughter to introduce to the family. Their Patrick with his special someone. Someone to come home to, to argue with and make up with food and special surprises. To have someone to vent to and pick on only to laugh until you cry again

My dad and I were sitting in the living room discussing the future and relationships and he said "Son, whatever you do in life be intentional. If you do not plan to make whoever your pursuing a permanent thing do not invest or pursue it. In all aspects" Those words ringed into me. I want to have something that comes to me to be positive and long-term. The way you can make the outcome be the outcome you strive for you need to project your mindset into the one you want for yourself. Do not go looking for what you think you need for what you need will find you when its ready to be found or when God allows you to find it.

We live for now and we as a generation have the shortest patience span. Living for cheap thrills and quick satisfactions. Instead of working and fighting and taking time to make something that will last longer and has more to offer. When you get that attitude and set that as the goal and nothing short of that you will begin to find what you looking for, But if you are there and you still have not found your other do not fret. Your partner may not be there yet, instead pray and keep your eyes on Jesus and when both you and your future partner are ready you will be put in each others' lives.

Enjoy the journey and do not worry about the destination. You will get there when you need to, not when you want too.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
