Instead Of Getting Mad, Get Over It Instead

Why get mad when you could be happy instead?

The first thing that comes to mind to write about is feminism. However, that has been super really extremely overdone in the past few weeks.

My first thought is why? Why do people need to make it so known that they do not like something? If someone is going to go to the trouble to learn to knit, spend a few hours knitting a pink hat, and then wear said pink hat resembling female anatomy, I truly do not think they care if you are not down for their cause.

I’m going to propose a revolutionary new idea about what to do when someone or a group of people do something you don’t like.

Do nothing. Ignore it. Take their activities with a grain of salt, and move on.

I know. How can you go about doing this? Who will write long posts on Facebook and compose endless tweets criticizing these wild animals?

What will you do with all of this free time spent not hating something? Maybe you can spend your valuable and now plentiful time doing things you actually like, and if you can handle it, maybe even love.

Do things you love. Watch movies you like. Only care and rail about things that make you wildly happy.

I’m not suggesting that we all gather in a circle and sing “Kumbaya”, but maybe we can stop putting so much unnecessary effort and just not pay attention to things that cause us distress.

Perhaps with this newly acquired free time, you will rediscover how amazing and beautiful life can be. You will notice the little things, and you will smile at how simple life can be when you make it so.

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.
