Well, they have names.

You Know Those Feelings You Cannot Explain?
Crescent June

You know those feelings you get that you can’t explain? They all have a name.

  1. You know when you’re driving or walking through the store and you start to wonder about the lives other people live? How they have a life completely different than yours? How you have different experiences? You wonder about their lives and how they have a mind that controls all their thoughts just like you do. That’s called sonder, and you aren’t the only one who does it.
  2. You know when you look around and you just watch the people around you and you know you don’t fit in? That feeling of being different. That emotion that tells you you will never fit in. never be like everyone else. It’s called monachopisis, and we’ve all probably felt that way before.
  3. You know when you look back to your younger self and you want to tell her/him you made it to the future? You never thought you’d reach the point where you have a license but you did. Where you finally go to college when you never thought that day would come. That feeling of contentment knowing you made it to a place in your life and wanting to tell the smaller version of you is called énouement.
  4. When you don’t know if flying cars will ever exist or if The Hunger Gameswill be a reality. When you know you won’t be able to see how the world turns out is the feeling of ellipsism.
  5. Those experiences you’ve had in life, the ones you know no one else has ever had to go through. The one where you can’t talk about it because you know no one can relate. It’s exulansis.
  6. You ever get annoyed by how much effort it takes just to get to know someone? You have to get past the awkward silences and the pointless small talk. You have to learn how someone really is. Get to know their personality. Their fascinations. Commonalities that connect you. That annoying little feeling of hardship is called adronitis.

There are so many more feelings we have had but could never be described. Go to this link to find out more: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/374924737715665523/s...

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.
