I think sometimes we have to step back and remind ourselves that we're only human and maybe that's the very superpower every one of us obtains. That the superpower of actually being human is powerful enough as it is. I mean, think about it: We have to deal with things in our lives that we don't necessarily don't want to face. Obviously the first idea is to run and deal with it later because you have something else to get done which you originally pushed back in the first place. Or, if you’re one of those that actually think twice and face it full force, kudos to you 'cause that’s mad maturity right there.

What I'm saying here is, maybe our lives aren't as perfect as we wished them to be. That waking up, going to work/looking for work, maybe even loving our jobs, hating our jobs, catching the train, sitting in traffic, going home, preparing food, doing laundry, eating the food, recognizing that the only idea of a workout you’ll accept is walking from one room to another, and trying to do as much work as you can so maybe, just maybe, a little load of stress is off for the next day, for the next second. I mean, isn't that what we do? Try to make today better for tomorrow?

Try to remember who are the ones that make your life just a little bit more dope. Try to remember what you can bring to the table of your own castle. You're the queen and king.

If you ask me, that takes a hell of a lot of energy. What takes even more energy is trying to decipher and eventually choose if the things we do every day, the people we are surrounded by—are they worth it?

From the many things we need to get done (and that’s all depending if you’re in a good or bad mood), to saying “f*** it all!” everyone tries, in their own ways. To say the least, life is horrible, like it’s really bad, no doubt. But it’s also pretty sweet, and we should think about those moments a bit more. That's an even bigger superpower we all have to face—willpower—and which world we're going to wake up to the next day: a world that we conquer with positive outlooks, kicking butt on a daily basis? Or a world filled with our drained ideas, thinking that we suck and everything else does too?

You choose.

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.
