Be Inspired To Be Yourself

Stop acknowledging the limitations on yourself my friend.

Stop acknowledging the limitations on yourself my friend.

You may accept, but NEVER acknowledge. Just as my friend Martin Luther King refused to acknowledge the limitations he lived with. He believed there would be a day where all children regardless of color can enjoy the fruits of the future. So he looked past the limitations and sparked a revolution that will always be a turning point in history. Yet he took the first step that all great rulers must take, accept the limitations. Realize that limitations are in your current situation. Although you have the power to elevate them higher than ever before. So I ask of you to free yourself from the constructs you have created. Only realize why you are a unique human being.

For the only enemy you face stares at you in the mirror when you wake up. It is the person in the mirror that will be with you every step of the way. Your #1 fan and your 1 enemy. So be kind to the person in the mirror, for he is the reason you are alive today. He thanks the younger version of yourself for working hard where it count. He is also counting on you to have the future version of yourself pleased as well. So look only at the distortion in your eyes, not in the eyes of judgmental.

Do not allow yourself to be distracted by comparison, it is our greatest enemy. We are the creators and thinkers who decide if the impossible is plausible. From comparison we create limitations. So if you wish to cut the ropes that hold you down, look into the true form of yourself. Reach to the heart, soul, and mind together; there you begin break free.

It is in the eyes of the beholder, that a reality is created. It is the man, 100 years ago, who dived into his imagination. He looked past his current limitations and circumstances, to bring you the technologies of today. Yet to reach new heights, the man conquered himself. It is the human that rules the land with his mind and sees himself as a peasant in the depths of the ocean who will truly free himself. Exposed to his limitations, he realizes that he will never be a big fish in a big pond. That is why a man cannot breathe under water, his skill is valued less than that of a goldfish! To realize that humans such as ourselves are so vulnerable to the constructs of nature. We will never overcome these limitations but will always believe we can. We admit that limitation is there, but we refuse to let it control us. We continue to evolve and progress for the sake of proving the norms we live in wrong.

Realizing this battle of the human mind, you understand why humans truly are the most thought provoking and inspiring. We choose look at the chains on our hands and feet and continue to break them. Even if new chains are put on our intellect, we wish to break them again. It is as if our reality wishes to control us, yet we do not comply. So I ask you all, as my friends, to not let your circumstance and reality control you. Accept but not acknowledge. It is at this moment, you will become your own ruler.

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.
