Being Kind Has A Real Power, Especially For Us Girls

The world could use more kindness. There is so much power in being kind to people. The best people are those who radiate positivity and genuinely make you feel beautiful down to your soul. Those are the kind of people you want to surround yourself with. Those are the people who ask you how your day is going and actually care to listen instead of running through the motions of a checklist conversation. I think we all can take a lesson from those positive people.

Being kind to somebody does nothing but good. An act such as smiling at somebody could be the difference in whether their day was good or bad. People remember how you treat them and you have so much more to gain from being a nice person.

Especially as girls, it is easy to get caught up in the latest gossip. What if instead of joining in the negative conversations, you were the one that broke the cycle and didn't join in. Gossip only spreads the negativity and is part of the toxic repetitive cycle of being a girl and it shouldn't be. Put yourself in the place of the person you are gossiping about and reflect on how it would make you feel if you were them. Be the person who makes that girl feel beautiful down to her soul.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." — Audrey Hepburn

Being kind is a simple thing and so is looking for the good in others. So stop wasting your energy on negative thoughts and negative words towards others. Instead, spend your time loving on people and smiling at people and trying to make a difference in people's lives. The only thing negativity will do is bring yourself down.

Any negative thoughts or words you harbor and use against others do nothing but stunt your growth as a person and belittle those around you. So be the person who radiates positivity and makes others feel worthy. If you fill others with meaningful compliments you will find a positive change in your self-worth as well.

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.
