Love At First Glance

Have you ever felt this?

"When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew it." One of the cutest quotes ever written by William Shakespeare.

Relationships and dating all have influences on people's actions and mood. Being in a relationship can be frustrating and ecstatic at the same time, like when you get into a huge fight but can’t stay mad because you love them. It has this euphoric effect that makes you wonder if you are truly happy... or infatuation has dominated your endorphin production.

When do you know if you truly love the person you are with? When does it all happen? Is it love at first site? Did you ever look into that person's eyes and think, "they are the one?"

How does this happen? Why?

Discovering a deeper connection with someone through conversation with someone is a great feeling: hearing your phone go off and seeing a text from them can make your heart melt and stir those butterflies in your stomach like nothing else. It can strengthen the knowledge that you only want to be with them and no one else. Sometimes you start talking to someone and just drift off into your own world thinking, "Wow, how can I ever be this lucky?"

This, my friends, is called love: love can bring out the best in you, and can make you feel like a kid experiencing Disneyland's magic for the first time ever day. And whenever you are not together, the only thing on your mind is them. Whenever you are together, the time goes by a little too quickly for what you can make of it. Whenever I spend time with my boyfriend, we end up watching movies or walking on the beach, but it still doesn’t seem to be a lot of time.

Experiencing the love in the air can be a wonderful feeling as well. Displaying that sweet side of you that nobody knew existed can show your friends and family just how happy you are. Love can inspire some people to do and be their best. When you're in love, you don't ever want the feeling to go away. And when you find somebody who makes you feel that way, and they also feel the same, don't let them go.

Finding someone like that nowadays can be really hard, but I know that when I found mine, it was my first semester of college... and completely unexpected. You don't have to go searching for that right person because sometimes, they'll find you. A chance encounter at the library, on the way to class, McDonald's even - I have faith that your special someone will make their way into your life. Magic often happens when you least expect it.

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.
