The secret to being attractive is pretty simple considering that if you are a human being, it comes naturally to you.

Let's start from the top. We were created by God. He molded each and every piece of us, including our hearts, which hold our deepest desires and attractions. God created us in His image to know, love, and serve Him. God created our hearts to naturally be attracted to the One thing that satisfies us: God, Himself. Therefore, the more we imitate our Lord, the more attractive we will become. The more we reflect God, the more others will be drawn to us

We are all attracted to love. We desire to love and to be loved. God created us for love and out of pure, perfect love. Essentially, we long for God when we long for love because God is love.

A few things happen when our eyes are opened to love; we begin imitating God and striving to be who He created us to be.

First, we become very joyful. Since it is literally engraved in our very being that the blueprint to joy is by knowing, loving, and serving God then the more our will conforms to His, the more joyful we become. I'm not sure about you, but I find that joyful people are very attractive.

Second, we become peaceful. Perfect Iove casts out fear. The more perfectly we let God love us and love Him back, the less we have to fear. The more every single thing in life starts to line up with His will, the more peaceful our souls become. Once again, I don't know about you, but it's very attractive when someone has a comforting peace about them.

Third, we become attractive. Others are drawn to joy and peace; therefore when we posses these qualities, we become attractive. The more we let God transform us into His image, the more we begin to resemble the best version of ourself.

Looking to the example of one of the most attractive women of our time, Saint Mother Teresa gives us the perfect model of how to be attractive in the Fragrance Prayer, which she recited after receiving Communion daily:

Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go.
Flood my soul with Your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly,
That my life may only be a radiance of Yours.

Shine through me, and be so in me
That every soul I come in contact with
May feel Your presence in my soul.
Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus!

Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine,
So to shine as to be a light to others;
The light, O Jesus will be all from You; none of it will be mine;
It will be you, shining on others through me.

Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example,
By the catching force of the sympathetic influence of what I do,
The evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You.

Amen

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.

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.
