A Glimmer Of Hope

The light in the time of darkness

A Glimmer Of Hope

Something that I live by is optimism. Optimism is the thing that keeps me positive and upbeat daily. Many dwell on the negative aspects of life, that is not the way to live. Life is a mysterious thing and we as humans can never grasp the concept of life. Optimism gives us hope, positive vibes usually result in positive outcomes, but this isn't always the case. Negativity can always get the best of us. It darkens our glimpse of hope that is barely shining through the darkness that is engulfing us.

How does someone make it through the darkness of negativity? A great question that is difficult to answer. There is no right or wrong answer to this question, but there are ways to resolve the problem of negativity. Negativity is always going to be part of our lives and there are, and will be, dark times in your life, no doubt about it. There are many techniques to instill "hope," that light we need for the darkness. I know that it has been said over and over again, but there really is a light at the end of the tunnel, the sun will come out tomorrow. Hopefully by now, you get my point with the cliche analogies.

Optimism is my "light" in the time of darkness, maybe it could be for you too. There are many different ways to snuff out the darkness and live life with positivity. It seems easier said than done, but not impossible. Your happiness is key to life and negativity is not part of that key. Life is built on hope and it is the light that to shows us the way through the dark times.

Light over darkness.

Believe in hope!

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.
