Inside My Head: Part I
Power of Positivity

They said that it would be easy. That it would get easier if it wasn’t already. I don’t believe life is supposed to be easy. Why would something so fragile be simple to any of us? What is the fun in the simplicity that we all seem to be seeking? You’re lost, but aren’t we all? We are expected to get up, get out, and learn who we are every day, but how are we supposed to do that in a world that is unbelievably cold to the thought of change and difference? How are we supposed to ensure that the world is going to be better for the next generation, the generation of our children, their children, and eventually our children’s children’s children? With the constant hostility in the world toward new things you’ll never truly be able to be who you think you can be, or who you want to be. In a world so conniving, evil, and cruel how is anyone supposed to change anything at all? We make new laws just to create new ones. Something is okay here, but that same something isn’t okay there. What you did today was alright, but what you do tomorrow may not be alright. I really don’t know if anything is going to ever be “alright” in this world. These articles, just like you and me, are a work in progress, there is nothing wrong with progress. If you take one step every day toward what you want out of life or what you want to be in this life, you’ll get there. You may not get there tomorrow, or next week, next month, maybe not even next year, but eventually you’ll have everything that life intended for you. So bare with me while I make what I want to do in life a reality, stick around, it may be worth it.

We are forced into this world with no knowledge as to who we are going to be, who we want to be, or what we will make ourselves. As i said, we are forced here. Our parents decided that they wanted a child, or in some cases, they didn’t choose, we just kind of happened. Accidents. They happen. Sometimes they are good things, other times they’re bad, but they are just another part of life and we have to learn how to deal with them. Our parents put us here without us knowing that we would be faced with so many problems when we grew up. They were able to protect us when we were young, guided us to where we are now, and although you may beg to differ, they created who you have become. But now, times are changing. You may be exactly like them, you may be the complete opposite of them. But no matter who you have become, they helped you realize who you wanted to be. You grew up seeing their struggles and how they parented you, and you determined from those actions how you wanted to see your life pan out. Maybe they had other people helping them raise you, those people watched you learn and grow into who you are too, they got you where you are now just as much as your parents did. There are so many people who influence who you become in life, it isn’t all on you. Up until now I constantly worried about being like someone I did not want to be, I also worried that I would not become who I actually did want to be. I’m still becoming who I want to be, I may be writing for my own personal benefit at this point, but I find it hard to believe that I am the only one in need of this. This being my thoughts and my fears, which I am sure I am not the only one who has or will experience them. There are so many people in this world, someone is bound to have something in common with me.

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.
