Love is A Powerful Thing And We Should Be Using It More Often

Show the world and scream it from the mountain tops because love is here.

What is love? Just like that song, we sometimes all wonder what love is. It's this feeling we have but it differs by person and situation. Should we be showing more love? Should we be showing less love? In today's world, do we see love often or do we need more of it? Why do people shy away from love and vow never to let it touch them? Love is love.

There are some people who spend their whole life looking for love and never find it. So is love something that should be sought out for or do we let the universe open our eyes to it. Some may love eating pizza just as much as someone loving their significant other. Some love is love but rather a form of lust. True love can be hard to find and even harder when out looking for it. So what should we do when it comes to love?

Some may say hide it and conceal it because it is too strong for some. Some say to scream it from the mountain tops because love is stronger and can break down any barriers. I say do what you think love is. Show the person you love them in private. Scream "I love you" whenever you get the chance. Love is up to every person and how they want to show it. What we shouldn't do is shame others for loving someone that you might not agree on. Why are we getting in the way of people showing their love to who they want? We are not them, we can not tell them they can not love. We are only in charge of our own life and nobody else's.

People show love in different ways. Sometimes people have been so hurt that love is a sensitive topic and they don't want to be near it. Love has done some amazing things for some people and it has hurt others. We also need to be respectful l of those who have a hard time with love and show them our own other ways to let them know we are there for them.

All the different generations show love differently. There are five different love languages and there are different ways to show love. We should also not judge others on the ways they show love but respect them. No two people are the same, and never will be. So we will need to respect what others might say or do. We are able to show our own love and others the same.

We need to show bigger love in today's world.

Sometimes are so dark and hard but together we can show a light that is filled with love. We need to show others that despite what might be happening and what others might say, there is still love. We can show love. We can be in love. So take your hearts out into the world, show some love, and change the world for the better.

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.
