Losses Can Be Blessings

Some of life's most difficult losses can be the biggest blessings. Life is full of tough losses that can take everything out of a person, but the result of that loss can be the biggest blessing in your life.

Losses are hard and the last thing people are able to see during the loss is any good possibly coming out of it. All losses can have good come out of them, but sometimes the good is a blessing. In the moment of a loss our eyes are blinded by grief, but a blessing could easily be up ahead.

When a blessing does come out of the loss and we see the result of it all, it is one of the coolest things. Losing a job is hard, but the better one to come is a blessing. Breaking up with someone is hard, but getting out of a toxic relationship is a blessing. Removing negativity from your life can be difficult, but the blessing of making your life better is a blessing. Facing your fears is hard, but living life without fear is a blessing.

Life is full of blessings in disguise that we do not look hard enough for. Life is full of losses that people face all the time. When blessings and losses are meshed together, people are changed for the better. When we start to look for the blessings life offers, life has a different look.

Life will never be loss free, but it will also never be blessing free; with losses come blessings and that is awesome. Not every loss is a blessing and not every blessing is the result of a loss, but losses can result in blessings and that is so encouraging.

Never allow a loss to determine what is going to happen because a loss is not always just a loss.

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.
