A Letter To Those Looking For Direction

To the person looking for direction,

Everything is going to work out at the end of the day. It may not be ideal or the way you want it to be, but as long as you remain determined and strong, you will be successful.

There are going to be obstacles along the way; I am not going to lie. There will be people who don't want it to work out for you and there will be times you want to give up. Nothing is ever perfect and the situation you are going through is most likely not an exception to that concept.

You're probably wondering what you can do to find the path you want to take or may be curious about the answer to why you're feeling as though you don't know where you are going. It will take time. You'll have to find people to inspire you and an outlet for what you truly want to do. If it's becoming an athlete, you'll have to work at the gym and practice the sport you're interested in. If it's being a better person, you'll have to remind yourself to stay positive and handle things to the best of your ability. There are steps for everything and it's up to you to determine them.

Once you realize what you want to do and how you're going to make it happen, things get a bit easier. You'll have to brace yourself for the criticism and the "haters," but you will make it work if you are genuinely adamant about this. Stay positive and work through what's thrown your way! It's just the world testing you.

If you still aren't sure what you want to do or what your place is, don't worry. You always have time to reevaluate and figure out what is meant for you. If you're a believer in "everything happens for a reason," go with the flow and you'll find yourself figuring out that plan in no time. It's important to remember that you will find direction and your true path regardless of what is happening right now.

Sincerely,

A person on her 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.

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.
