Let the little kid in you out.

For Our Inner 5 Year Old
http://www.minitime.com/trip-tips/How-to-Make-the-Most-of-Your-Disneyland-Getaway-article

We're all filled with the spirit of our 5-year-old selves and sometimes it shines through when we clap feverishly with excitement or when we have a tantrum (more controlled tantrum) when we don't get our way. Sometimes that 5-year-old self is hidden and we keep him/her locked inside of us but I'm here to tell you to let that inner child out.. let him/her play and let that child help you in making decisions because there's a reason you were the way you were at 5 years old.

My 5-year-old self was special to me because I look back at old photographs and I listen to my family tell me funny stories about what I was like at a young age. I was a very outgoing 5-year-old with lots of ambition and fearlessness.

At 5, I went to Disney for the first time where I performed in front of a crowd of people at my hotel's pool deck and was invited to parade along the streets of Main Street USA in the electrical light parade. Looking back at pictures of my first DisneyWorld experience, I saw a little girl with pure joy in her eyes. I saw this little girl who wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world besides in the happiest place on Earth.

My inner 5-year-old fueled my goals in life which is to work for Disney because Disney makes me feel like my 5-year-old self and who doesn't want to be reminded of those days.

My advice for everyone is to find that inner 5-year-old again. Contact him/her and figure out what made you the happiest as a 5-year-old and get back to that. Get back to that swing set at your Elementary School playground and go back to building sand castles without being afraid of the sand going into your bathing suit. Scream at the top of your lungs, go on a bike ride. Be 5 again and find yourself again.

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.
