I'm In Love With My Life

It took me a while to realize this but I'm so glad I did.

I don't mean that my life is perfect because in no way is it. I still have those bad days and really bad days. But I've come to realize that deciding to reflect on good moments you have instead of the bad ones truly changes your outlook on life.

We're about to jump into my personal life so everyone holds on.

A while ago I went through break up. Not an easy one let me tell you. I was sad for a while and had a really pessimistic view on life. I felt like I had put all of my love into something that no longer existed and in turn, I stopped putting effort into a lot of what brought me joy.

I felt like people were the only thing you could love. I jumped around trying to find someone to hopefully fill this gap I thought was in my life,

I was determined that being in love with someone new would fix all of my sadness.

But I still found myself being unhappy.

That's when I decided I needed to focus on me and nobody else. I spent time with people that truly made me happy, and doing things that truly made me happy.

I fell in love with the late night drives where I and my friends screamed our favorite songs.

I fell in love with those moments when you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts.

I fell in love with reading good books.

I fell in love with going for runs.

I fell in love with the moments where I sat outside and looked at the stars.

I fell in love with all of these moments in my life. I keep having these moments where I feel so happy and content with where I am and I realize I don't need someone else to fill the gap because there isn't one.

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.
