Let yourself live the dreams you want to.

Why I Keep My Head High, And Hope For Big Dreams
lmt-lss.com

Living 20 years and more under the same roof, or in the same town is and always will be your life. Being able to step out of that life is what I personally want. I know being around family is important to keep those connections, but you realize you aren't seeing the world in the same place forever. Whether I travel for the rest of my life, or pick a specific place to live, is my choice, but letting day by day take me where it wants to go is the only thing I can do.

That's why I chose to just move states and completely start fresh. After college I would like the experience to build new friends, co-workers, and experience different places those people call home. Find a true love, or a best friend. I want to experience things on my own, and find my own self.

I want to know the home coffee shop that everybody in town goes to. I want to meet the usual elders at the bus stop, or even those businessmen waiting for the subway. I want to live in a city, and big city or success and dreams. My town is boring, and quiet. Why not experience something so much bigger? So much more out there? Everybody has dreams, and goals, but why not wanting to live somewhere you love, or somewhere you can call home.

Living outside of your comfort zone can help you not only travel more, but experience other cultures with confidence. You continuously want to learn more about your new town/city. The accents can rub off, and you start to change into that culture. I would like change, and change is always good for yourself.

It creates happiness, and confidence. Moving, and pushing yourself to bigger and better things can create images that you never thought you had. I want to move away from home after college to build my life, to start my own life. I can do that at home too, but I want to move to make memories for my family. Tell them I am not originally born here, I moved to create a life I never thought I'd have.

Sometimes going after your dreams is the only thing that can get you farther to where you want to be. I tell myself it's not going to be easy, but it's not impossible. If you create yourself to be the person you want, then why not do things the way you want too?

A note to others:

Let yourself live the dreams you want to. Don't let others choose it for you. Decisions are the reasons you will be the person you are, they are choices that will stop you from continuing your dreams, or to continue your dream. It may seem like you are living a fairytale, but those fairytales are real if you make them.

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.
