Hype Yourself up.

Are You In Need Of A Confidence Boost Today?

Let me start by saying, STOP!

Stop caring about what other people think of you.

I know that you want others to think the very best about you, but you cannot live your life when you constantly care what other people may think of your actions or how you look. Care about what you think of you!

HYPE YOURSELF.

People get too into trying to impress the next person, when everyone should focus on impressing their selves. Impress yourself by studying hard, keeping yourself healthy, going for and accomplishing your goals. Impress yourself by being the very best you you could be.

You do not need other people's validation in order to be happy or to have success.

Just be you, for you. Either people will love you or hate you - but the ones that truly love you will always be around. Surround yourself with positive people, people that will pick you up when you fall down. Get rid of the negative because, remember, you don't live to impress them!

DEFEND YOURSELF.

Not only should you stop caring about what others think, you should stop letting people speak negatively about you.

Someone spreading lies about you? Confront them. Someone say or do something to you that hurt you? Speak up about it. Do not allow anyone to get away with making you feel unworthy, unattractive or unsuccessful! Tell them how you feel and get rid of the negativity once and for all.

Bottom line; pick your head up, dust the dirt off your shoulders and keep it pushing. Allow no one to stop you from getting what you want in life. Allow no one to make you feel bad about yourself. And allow NO ONE to stop you from impressing yourself!

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.
