Girls, Stop Telling Yourself Lies

Have you ever wanted to start a trend? Have you followed the crowd and done what they are doing? Of course, we have. If we haven't, we are telling ourselves the biggest lies. Lies are the worst things we can tell ourselves!

One of the biggest trends out there is reading the book Girl, Wash Your Face.' I am very skeptical about reading books because everyone has a different taste in what they read. Trust me when I say once you pick up this book and start reading it you won't have a life. That's because you won't want to put it down. This book is so inspirational to women. If you haven't read it, pick up a copy and don't regret your choice!

Spoiler alert! if you haven't read this book yet, here is two main topics that I thought stood out. These include learning how to be the best you, and the fact that all good things take time.

Why did these stick out, let me just tell you! The first one couldn't be more empowering to women. As women, we tend to compare ourselves to others and wish our lives were like someone else's. We need to stop comparing and start living our own life. No one is perfect and that's what this book teaches us! We must be the best versions of ourselves that we can be.

The second thing it teaches us is is all good things take time. Each good thing might take a few weeks, months, or maybe even years. Yes, I did just say the word years! The author of the book Rachel Hollis even mentions it in her book that some things take years. If you're a movie fanatic, you will appreciate this. She even mentions it in her book how it took fifteen years to make the movie Avatar! That movie sold millions of tickets and was one of the biggest movies. So, a lesson we take from this is patience is a virtue and great things do come with time if we let them.

Girls stop telling yourself lies and think it's ok. Let's be real, you're only hurting yourself when you tell lies.

If you need a good read, I encourage all women to pick up the book 'Girl, Wash Your Face.'

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.
