It's Time To Be A Kid

I am not talking to the boys and girls that are actually kids right now. To everyone that does not consider them self to be a kid, this is for you. You should adopt a few life lessons from the smallest and youngest of our kind.

No matter what point you are in your life, life can get extremely stressful. If you are in your late teens or early 20s, you face many decisions about your college education and career. We all endure relationship, health and financial struggles. It is easy to get caught up in everything that is going wrong or all the answer you do not know yet. As individuals, we forget to relax, breathe and live life fully.

Do not worry, we are not hopeless. Luckily, there are many individuals we can learn from. Whether they are your own kids, a niece, a nephew, a little brother or sister, or even a baby cousin surely they can help you out. Kiddos know a thing or two about living each day to the fullest. Kids are as carefree as it gets. They eat, play, sleep and repeat. They do whatever their heart desires. Each day they spend their time having fun, laughing and just enjoying life. Although we all have adult responsibilities to tend to, we should consider finding time to be a kid. Take the time to do what is going to make you happy.

We all should take the time to be carefree, so act like a kid every once in a while. By this, I do not mean throwing a fit when you do not get your way, and I am certainly not encouraging you to go back to wearing diapers. No, that would be strange. Be a kid, means to let go of everything that is stressing you out, relax and be carefree every one in a while. Do not neglect your responsibilities as an adult, but take some time to do the things you love. Allow yourself time to do whatever your heart desires,just as when you were a kid.

Every so often watch a movie or cartoon that you loved as a kid. Treat yourself and eat the delicious meal you are craving. Sleep in, stay in your pajamas all day. Do whatever it is that will allow yourself to be as happy as you were when you were a kid when all the decisions of life were not stressing you out.

I recently watched the movie "Finding Dory," a kid's movie but I thoroughly enjoyed myself laughing and reminiscing about "Finding Nemo."

We all deserve to let go of all our worries every now and then. So even though they are much younger than you, learn from the kiddos in your life. See how happy they are just doing simple things and then allow yourself these same moments of pure joy.

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.

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.
