Love is stronger than you think

Don't take the time you have for granted.

Love is stronger than you think

Today as I type this article I am shook at how much we take our lives for granted. We as a whole people are selfish (as we think we should be) but today I am here to advise you not to be so selfish, love more, and never think you have all the time in the world. Because, you do not.

Why are we naturally so selfish? Because we all think the world owes us something, but let me just enlighten you; it doesn't. We were put here for the sole purpose of loving each other and striving to be more like Christ, and in case you haven't noticed we have stopped thriving for that. We have and always will be selfish, but we can change the level of selfishness we bestow upon others.

Do you know what people want more than anything? Love, we thirst for it. So, Why don't we show it more often? I wish I had an answer, but unfortunately I do not. All I can say to do is compliment each other, because a compliment can change a person's whole day. So, why not go ahead and be nice. We don't have to put up a front that we are stronger than we truly are. Be vulnerable. Be raw with each other. Because we are here on borrowed time and our time could be up tomorrow morning. So love with your whole heart.

Closing this topic I wanted to point out that we do not have time to be hateful,selfish or greedy because one day we will die and on that day when you look back on your life, and see that you wasted your time you're going to be disappointed. If you think the previous statement is not true for you then either you're perfect or you need a reality check.

I know this is a hard pill to swallow but if I don't say it then nobody will. Go out, be adventurous, love more, give more, care more and show compassion, because we simply do not have the time to be anything other than loving. So please, take my advice... don't take your life for granted.

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.
