Inside My Head: Part II
Power of Positivity

I don’t see the point in anger, or hatred. I also don’t understand how some people can be so cruel that hatred has become such a well known thing. In 2001 three airplanes were hijacked, and set out to crash into 3 major buildings in The United States. How can anyone be so spiteful to set out to ruin so many innocent lives? What can cause that kind of anger within someone? How can anyone ruin so many lives, take away a child’s parents so easily? What instills such a thing within someone that they feel they have no option other than to cause total destruction of ones life. So many children were left without parents that day, and so many parents were left without children. So many people had to call their loved ones from those planes and say goodbye to them for what they thought would be forever, for some that actually became a reality. Can you imagine having to keep the same recording of your husband’s voice on an answering machine for years just so you can go back and listen to them telling you that they love you one last time? Can you imagine a love so deep that you’d use your very last breath and living moment on this earth to call them and tell them how much they mean to you even if you don’t know how many seconds you have left. Can you imagine growing up without a parent because out of anger, and jealousy, and hatred, someone took their life from you when you were only five years old? Can you imagine being that child’s parent and having to explain to your child when they get older and can finally understand what happened why they grew up without a father? Or a mother? Or in some cases, both. It is so easy to let anger define us.

It is so easy to let all of the happiness that we worked so hard for go, and to turn all of your emotions into anger. It is easier to be angry than it is to be happy. Most of the time happiness has to be worked for, and there aren’t many people who feel the need to search for such a thing. People throw their lives into their jobs, or into their school work, and often forget to stop and step back and become aware of all of the wonderful things in life that so often go unseen. I understand that life is busy and hectic, and not everyone has the opportunity to seek happiness in the ways that others do, but there is happiness out there for everyone. I’d like to believe that at least. Life isn’t always going to go the way that we expect it to but we can’t just sit back and let it walk all over us. Everyone deserves some kind of happiness in their life, whether that be with a relationship, or a family, or a job promotion, or traveling the world. Everyone is different. Everyone has different wants and needs. I cannot write what your happiness may be, but I can tell you to go out and find it. Living a life full of anger and misery is not what anyone intended for you during your time on this earth. Make your life what you want it to be.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
