If You Need Some Perspective

Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

If You Need Some Perspective

It's easy to get caught up. Our culture puts pressure on us to act, look, and be a certain way. Our schedules are hectic. We have to make good grades, balance a social life, and learn how to be "adults", yet cry because we miss our dog at home a little too much. The pressure is intense, but in the midst of the craziness, we need to take a step back and look at the big picture. Isn't that what life is all about anyways? Take a moment to relax, take a deep breath, and put things in perspective.


God's plan will prevail. Trust in this and be at peace.

There is at least one person on this earth who would die for you.

Happiness is a choice.

Fall weather is coming. And that means one too many Pumpkin Spice Lattes.

You are so loved.

You WILL get a job and you WILL be successful.

You are powerful, and strong, and capable.

Don't sweat that one professor or that one test. Life goes on.

Tomorrow is a new day - cherish it.

The weekend is almost here.

So many people wish they could have your problems, insecurities, and stressors. No matter what, it could always be worse.

Despite how much you think about it, you are not defined by the past.

Every night, someone thinks about you before they go to sleep.

There's never a bad time for ice cream, Nutella, or a cookie. Stop feeling guilty. Treat yo'self.

When you look in the mirror and immediately criticize, understand you are your own worst critic, and you are more beautiful than you'll ever know.

There's just 13 more Monday's until Christmas. THIRTEEN.

Your dog thinks you are the most awesome person on the planet - believe them.

You are smarter than you think. Regardless of your GPA.

Cast your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.


So when things get crazy and life seems to win, remember that perspective is key. Because we all need a little reminder sometimes.

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.
