Living in the moment.

Breathe In… Breathe out… It’s good to do this sometimes. Just FYI.

Okay, now that we got that over with, here goes:

Most people plan their days ahead, set a menu, and make sure they know everything that's to come. I wish I was like that, and I try to be like that... Epic fail!

Though frankly I think it would be rather boring if I knew what I was having for each meal and knew where I was going every day. I let life surprise me, and one day it may make take me to Honolulu or something- who knows!

It's fun getting lost in life, singing along to the radio, and not knowing what will come next! Maybe one day I'll be working and the next I'll get fired. These things happen and they're what make life so enthralling! We all have a story and even writers have no idea how it will end. All we can do is read the story- but not in the dark, cuz that'll ruin your eye-sight (If anyone reading this knows if this fact is true, please let me know know).

I can sometimes go about my life as I know it, and then I realize that I've forgotten everyone. I don't mean to do it, I just get absorbed in my work until someone pulls me out. It's the quality of an introvert. Although I'd like to think I'm an extroverted introvert. I like being spoiled as an introvert by not having to deal with people, but I do enjoy social interaction and connecting with people (but don't tell that part to anyone who isn't reading this!).

Anyways, it can be scary not knowing what will happen next or if you can trust the universe to lead you to a good place. But I believe that we live in a good world where everyone wants to be happy and everyone likes me (so obviously they live you too, cuz I can feel that you are way cooler than I am).

Maybe if we would say hi to and smile at convicts they'll forget for a second they are troubled and they'll leave the dark side....

Yes, people have often told me that I need to be serious and realize the seriousness in life, but I just don't live like that. I don't want to feel the pain of others and realize that they really are suffering (if I can't do anything about it). Because if my nose hurts, punching yours won't help. When I do go out of myself and realize the suffering in life, I feel the pain. I feel it deeper than you would and I don't know what to do with it.

I just can't help anyone when I'm in pain. But if I'm happy, maybe I can cheer someone up who was hurting and give them the internal strength to make it through another day. Maybe, just maybe... (A woman, or man, can dream- right?)

So yes, some people are stronger than I am. They don't shiver when it's cold or get nightmares from the news. But I cry with the rain and dance with the birds, and try not to feel down.

So to all you strong people out there, we each have a place in the world and your strength inspires many. I could definitely use some of it in my life! So keep being you and doing what you do! Let's rock the world together and help each other out!! Let's leave the world a better place for our children and grandchildren! (After that, I can't guarantee too much, cuz...)

Here's a tidbit of information so that you can gain even more from this article (wow, this is just the best deal ever!): If you live in New York, 31% of the electricity that you use comes from nuclear fuel... I just found this on Google and I never knew it before, so cooll!!

See you all next week!

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.

Power of Love Letters

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.
