Greetings to 2017

A little welcome letter to the new year

Greetings to 2017

In all honesty, I have been waiting for this year to roll around for a while now. 2016 just wasn't enough for me to handle at one time. Yes, even with some ups the downs had an impact not just on me, but on the rest of the world too. With everyone we've lost from Alan Thicke to David Bowie, I think the world has suffered enough. With our new elected president and all the different opinions revolving around that, I think the world has suffered enough. With everyone's lives outside of the news, I think the world has suffered enough of 2016.

Everyone will have different goals and resolutions for the new year, for 2017. Some of them may be simple but won't follow through, others will go with it and succeed. The rest of the world won't want to make goals and resolutions just so the world can throw whatever it wants at them and take the year by storm. Most of the time that's the best option just so you don't get your hopes up on some expectations you might of had.

Some of these simple goals may include wanting to start a diet to lose weight, start a new hobby since your previous one might be getting too old for you, and so on and so forth. Harder ones might be things on your bucket list like going sky diving or going to a country you've never been to before. Half of that might have to do with money you might not have (let's admit, we are all poor one way or another).

In short, we are all probably just praying for 2017 to be the best year of their lives and pray it's going to be better than 2016. So farewell 2016, you have done us well and done us dirty and it's time to put most of you in the past. 2017, it's your turn to shine and I hope you do us good and give us all you got and I feel the rest of the world feels the same way.

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.

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.
