Kindness Is Not Weakness

Kindness does what is right, while weakness just stands by.

“Kindness”

Kindness is strong and pure

Kindness is sometimes vulnerable

But not weak

Because kindness has a clear vision,

And notices everything

But still shows love

Because it knows what’s right

And does such gracefully.

I wrote this poem to explain why kindness is not weakness. Many people perceive it to be so because when you are kind, graceful, and full of peace, it is used to other people’s advantage or be seen as weak. However, I can say this. The opportunists, abusers, and users are oblivious to doing good, and will be the first to run or even stand by when the world is falling apart. If you’re still reading, who seems like the weak one?

Even though it may seem like people are always walking all over you, do not despair. What we learn makes us stronger, and more able to adapt to things. A strong person does not come out like a giant, or with many weapons at once, but with experience and with a plan on how to do something. You’re more likely to survive than that person who originally thought “You’re too easy.”

The last thing I have to say is, never stop being the kind person you are. Never stop being the genuine person you are, because a person out there needs you dearly. That person who needs you, will not use you, but will learn from you, and will help you to make the world, a much better place to live in.

This, I could say is hard to do because too many people have been destroyed due to the life they’ve been exposed to—pain and abuse (of any type) because of their kindness and authentic souls. But we must remember, that hate will never solve a thing, and that kindness goes a long way.

So, continue to be kind, genuine, and authentic.

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.
