Wow, all those Tumblr Posts really are true

We have all had those moments when it feels like happiness and joyness has just dissipated and disappeared from our lives. We as teenagers and adults, are then left to ponder whether our life has been a mistake and if it was really was what we wanted.. That's where Tumblr comes into play. Tumblr is a social networking and blogging website that was founded in 2007 by David Karp. Throughout the years, Tumblr has gained more and more popularity and has become home to cheesy life quotes and memes.

We gaze through all the quotes laughing and smiling thinking about how these are way too cliche. And I used to be that way too. But over time, with experiences that have both helped me and hurt me, I've began to realize that maybe these are true. As young teenagers, everyone and everything around you may seem normal. You and your friends are having fun, going to the pool, going to the movies, etc. But one really never the true emotions and feelings of someone until they talk to them...alone. Noticing an issue and not doing anything about cause a more profound and devastating effect as sometimes, it makes the person going through hard times feel as if no one is there for them and makes their condition even worse.


Quotes like this one:










This quote seems a little bit to happy and too joyful, which then causes people to not think about whether this quote could truly be applied to our lives. I could relate this in my own life. Not too long ago, a great friend of mine passed away because of cancer and I felt like I had lost a massive part of me. I gave up on everything. I didn't want to partake in any activities, I just wanted to stay in my room and just cry and sob and grieve for my friend. I didn't wanna ask for help and I hoped that someone would notice and say something. Thankfully, someone did and they talked me through everything. Everyday, they would continue to text me all day motivating me to hold myself together and not let this event bring me down and stop me from doing what I want.

The only way you can get rid of all the sadness and bring back what makes this world a better and peaceful place, happiness, is to try and push through all the pain that you are going through. You can't let it bring you down, because if you do, that depression is going to send you into a deep hole of sorrow and hopelessness. Talk to someone, whether it be family, friends, counselors, teachers, whoever, just get someone you trust and talk to them because they will be the ones who you know you can rely on and will get you through everything and always have your back no matter how hard it is for you and will do whatever it takes to make sure that you are ok. Life is short, so don't let anything stop you and slow you down...

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.

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.
