A Letter To Those Struggling Through Life Right Now
Kari Jones MS

To anyone struggling in life,

You may not care to read this, because you might be at that breaking point in your life, you know, where you just don't care about anything at all anymore. But, in case you do read this, I need you to know that you are capable.You are capable of so much more than you make yourself out to be. You are much more than your past and your demons. You are the person that you dream to be. You see, life is a struggle, but you are not what makes up that struggle in life.

It's hard to listen to what people say to you because how do they see and understand the difficulties you face? You are correct in the fact that they couldn't possibly see your difficulties and understand them. But you are incorrect if you think because someone does not understand you, means they couldn't possibly care about you. Sometimes, people don't want to know and understand battles you are fighting because then they would be force to feel what you feel too.

People are going to try to bring you down, gain power of you, and make you believe you are not worthy. Remember, jealousy is the ugly truth. Remove the ugly truth (jealousy) and remember this life is about you. You may be struggling, but you are not the negative words that come out of a jealous mouth.

You truly hold the key to your life. Every aspect of your life relies on you. A lot of people see the now and sometimes the now is a dark picture. That's all they see though, they don't look past the dark picture. Every picture you play in your head or see now represents a standstill. It will move again, you will see through the dark image you are seeing, and you will have the opportunity to change the person you see in that dark picture.

Life takes time, you take time to grow, you take time to learn, and you take time to love. Every process in life takes time. Give yourself time to get through this dark time. Remember, you are more than you believe yourself to be. Do not let the negative mind win your life. Life can get dark and scary, but life still needs you in it, to help make life a little more brighter and a little less scary.

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.
