Never change or bend your values for the world, You are worth more than that.

To Christian Girls: Stay Strong, You Are Loved
Huffington Post

Dear Sisters in Christ, being a girl has always been hard and there is no doubt that girls in the twenty-first century still have a lot of struggles just like everyone else, but being a conservative girl in 2017 is getting harder and harder and is about to get even worse. All around us we are being fed the idea that keeping those "Christian values" we hold so dear is wrong or outdated. But you need to remember that those values that you hold so dear to your heart were put there by the Holy Spirit to guide you through right and wrong.

Remember who you dress for. You don't dress to impress the world with your body. you dress for you and most importantly for God. Don't feel forced to wear or not wear anything you are not comfortable wearing or anything that does not bring glory to God.

Don't let the world force you into supporting ideas or campaigns your values don't support. If you don't like campaigns like "free the nipple" don't feel compelled to support them just because everyone around you says this is what the norm should be. Remember your values in every situation and measure them against any such campaign, if it doesn't bring glory to God, If it is not right, then don't support it.

Don't be afraid to fight for your beliefs, as obsolete as the world would like to paint them they are still your beliefs and it is up to you too keep them alive and well. If you believe in life for every human being from the moment they are conceived then stand up for it and stand up tall and proud. Yes, there are those who will try to bring you down for it and yes, there are those who will look at you differently and treat you differently for having the morals and beliefs you have and that is alright. Keep your mind in your God and in your beliefs, open your ears and eyes to those who share your beliefs, find a support system and you'll soon realize that those voices telling you to stop and change to accommodate to them are not as strong as they seem.

You are not a perfect woman and that is okay. Part of being a conservative person, a person of God, brings about a set of standards that you will be held accountable for following. But at the end of the day, you are still human and you will still fall short. Don't worry, though, every woman and every man in history have failed, everyone has sinned at some point, we have all fallen short. Stand up, take whatever consequences come your way, and keep going. Just because you did something wrong, just because you sinned, or just because you regret making a certain decision (or decisions) doesn't mean you are forever broken.

Most importantly remember that you are not alone. The world seems to be on a mission to make us feel like we are all freaks of nature. The media loves to portray conservative values as dying old-fashioned values and is constantly bringing and building up those voices that love to make us feel like there is something wrong with us for not believing or acting the way they do. But remember that you are not alone, there are thousands of thousands of brave, brilliant, beautiful women all around the world who believe just what you believe in. Women who fight for the right of life for everyone, women who dress with "modesty", women who believe in staying pure until marriage, God fearing and bible believing women are all over the world and they are looking for others like them just like you are looking for them.

My beautiful sisters in christ don't ever let the world convince you that there is something wrong with you. Remember whose you are and to whom you serve; to him, you are worth more than all the gold ans silver in the world. This world can say whatever they want to you and about you but you are not theirs and they can't change a thing about you. You are priceless, you are untouchable.

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.
