As I scroll through my Facebook news feed, I see the people I once called close friends and, still do for some, are living their lives better than I ever thought we would be. Although I am proud of myself in a way, I do feel like my life is a tad boring but I’ve wanted to write this for a while now. Some of you are fathers, wives, mothers, husbands, Au pairs, collegian scholars (I say that with hesitation) etc. and I am so delighted to call you all my friends. Although I am content with my life right now, my routine seems unentertaining in the grand scheme of things. I go to sleep at a decent time, I go to class for most of my week days, and then I go to work for three hours every day during the week. Then I come home to my apartment, eat dinner, work on some homework, and go to bed. When I see all of you starting families, raising children, and traveling the world, jealousy hits some times. I love my schedules and life, but I cant help thinking about what my life would be like if I was in your shoes.

I am so proud of each and everyone of you. No matter where your path has brought you, all of you have stepped up the plate to do the right thing or the thing you were meant to do. When I see pictures of your weddings, children, or accomplishments I immediately become happy knowing that all of you are happy.

There are some friendships that ended badly but as we all become adults I see us handling it appropriately. I hope that when we all come together for reunions or some other gathering we can catch up like old times and forget about the past.

To my friendships that kind of grew apart, I feel so bad. If we haven't stayed in touch at all or as much as we should, please reach out to me. If we haven’t talked in a while, don’t take that as me not caring. I care so much about each and every one of you but I have never been sure if it is my place to reach out. Because most of us will likely stay in Wyoming let's not let friendships fade so quickly, so call me, message me, or text me. I am always willing to catch up!

No matter where our friendships lie right now, they are all important. If we talk daily or haven't talked in years you are significant to me.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
