Growth

Life changes and so do you

Growth

As we live our life it all revolves around one thing, growth. Growth comes in many different ways and may not even be seen until you change.

Growing up I have always felt like an outcast in many things and I still do sometimes. I always wondered why I couldn't be like the girl that was really pretty or be the person that everyone loved. But time and learning helped me realize who I am.

I was raised in a pretty small town surrounded by the same people until I left for college. Sure as I lived there and grew older I felt as if I was growing up and becoming a better version of myself. It wasn't until I was placed on my own I saw the potential of who I can be.

Like I said growth comes in many places and you can grow in absolutely anything. I want to grow in my faith, in my love for myself, in my life passions and my traits, in my wisdom and kindness for others. There is always a way to make the world and yourself a better place.

As I look to grow I can see all of my opinions and beliefs forming instead of conforming to what I have always known. Without moving forward there is no way there can be successful futures. The world changes every day and I have decided I want to be the one person I can count on and can change with the times.

Living your life in your bubble can make you happy but I want to use my growth and change as a person to experience all the world has to offer. We would never see flowers if they didn't grow from seeds. There is ways that you can plant your own seed and see how you will bloom with all the world will have to offer.

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.
