Live Life Without Limits

Time is limited, don't live life with limits too.

Live Life Without Limits
Susan Dintino

It seems as though you never get ahead. Even when you think and feel like you are getting ahead in your life, something comes barreling at you full speed. It seems as though it is the way of life that your work is never done. You never get enough time on this earth to finish what you would want to do on this earth. Even if you lived to be over 90, I am sure you could still have a list of things that you wish you could or would have done. It seems as though the world offers so many things with so little time to complete them. All we can do is make the best of the time that we are given.

I want to remind you that you don’t always get to live a long and happy life. Sometimes very suddenly your time is up. When it’s your time, you go. Even if you are 12 and living the best years of your life with even more ahead of you, you go. You can’t ever take a single second for granted. You need to spend every moment like you know it is your last. You need to spend all of your time doing things you love with people you love. I can’t stress it enough.

Even if you have been given a short time left on this earth or you have gotten bad health news, you need to live your life. Don’t let anything stop you from trying something new or doing something that you love. Just because you have a limited time doesn’t mean you should have a limited life. Even if it is as simple as running through a summer rain storm, do it. If you want to travel to a new and exotic country, do it. Don’t limit your life based on a thing like time. You need to be selfish in your life before you can be selfless.

If you aren’t living your life to the fullest, you can’t expect to be able to help others. "You can’t fill up other people’s cups if your own is empty.” You need to take care of yourself and maintain your own happiness first before you can help others. People will try to make you change your mind or tell you to be more practical about your life choices. But you need to remember whose life that it is. You need to put yourself first always. You need to keep yourself happy and then you can spread your happiness to others. Other people will do the same to you and help you maintain your own happiness.

Sometimes it seems like life is such a struggle and that you never have enough time to do half of the things that you need to do, let alone want to do. Just remember, you control your own happiness. Use your limited time on earth to do all of the things that make you happy. Whether you have a year left or 50 years left, live your life without limits.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
