Life Is Crazy

We are so small.

Life Is Crazy

Every day we live we get to make choices. What's for breakfast, what do I wear, who do I talk to today. We are constantly doing things that we can be proud of or things that we will look back on in shame. We pass people we may never see again and argue with people that mean the most to us over stupid little things. We are humans who live every minute, taking things for granted and finding meaning in the things that mean nothing.

It's all really deep and thought provoking if you think too hard about it. It makes everything feel small and meaningless and like every move you make is nothing in the race of history. But every day does mean something, and every choice can change everything; you know the whole one pebble makes a wave... yadda yadda.

All I'm saying is that we have the choice to do something great. Something big, something that changes the perspective in which we see the everyday. You have that thing, that thing you want to do so bad. For me, its the Northern Lights. Ever since I was little, I have wanted to see the aurora in person. the thought of making it a reality is scary, something that I have always wanted to do is becoming something that... is in reach, I could do it if I wanted to. You have that thing that you want to do, you COULD do if you really wanted.

Fear is the part of it though. If I do it, if I really go see the Northern Lights then what else do I have to want, what else is there to look forward to what goals do I have? Your thing is scary too, probably. But fear is the roadblock between the choices we regret not making and the choices that shape us everyday.

Life is crazy. We live every day with choices ahead of us, with a thing that we want so badly to achieve that we could actually do if we really wanted. So all the choices we have, all the things we could do and all the things that are within reach are guiding us forward. Life is crazy, what choices will you make?

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.
