Little Things People Tend to Forget

1. Actions Speak Louder Than Words

You can say you care and ramble on about how much someone means to you, but the only way for them to know you actually care is through your actions. When you really care about someone these actions shouldn't have to be forced or seen as a hassle. You should put the effort in because all you want to do is see that person smile and be happy. This is so crucial in all relationships not just to keep the other person happy but to remind them that they're special to you and that you're thinking of them.

2. You Can’t Take Anything For Granted

When things become routine it’s easy to get comfortable and start assuming nothing will ever change. Although, in that very moment is when change is most likely to occur. When people get comfortable they begin not putting as much effort in and taking things/people in for granted. Life is unpredictable and you never know when you something could be taken for you. That’s why its important to enjoy the things you have and make the most of everyday with all the blessings you have in your life.

3. Live In The Moment

While it’s good to plan the future, life changes and obstacles appear unexpectedly. The only thing you're promised is the very moment you're in. Embrace it, enjoy it, make the most of it. Life is what you make it, so make it the best it can be.

4. Don’t Look Back With Regrets

People make mistakes and life isn't perfect but that’s what makes it beautiful. Imperfection allows for improvement which keeps life progressing. For that very reason, we cant dwell on small mistakes or misjudgments that led to a bad choice. We can’t move forward if we keep looking back on things that we can no longer change. Don’t regret anything because in that moment, when you made that decision, it was something that you chose and that you wanted. In the future if you look back wishing you made a different decision, you should take those feelings and use them to make a wiser decision in the future. But dealing with uneasy feelings of regret is an unnecessary strain over something that can’t be changed or taken back.

5. Life Goes On

Everyone goes through ups and downs in their life. When life seems tough or unmanageable you always have to remember that life goes on and with every down just secures room for things to get better. Pick your head up and stay strong, for life goes on and it can always get better.

6. Everyone Is Special In Their Own Way

People always find things to be self conscious about. It’s very easy for someone to find something they don't like about themselves when they're constantly comparing themselves to others. Don’t get down on yourself when you find your imperfections because while you see someone who is better at something than you are, theirs something else that your better at than that person. Every person is different but that’s what makes each individual special in their own way. So don’t harp on your flaws but emphasize your uniqueness.

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.
