With today's current events that have arisen, many conflicts within our society, cold weather approaching, and the hardships we face dealing with work and/or school, it may seem impossible to remain sane and stress-free. We all go through periods of time in which we feel overwhelmed and exhausted with life, which can lead to increasing levels of depression and anxiety, and that's never good. However, I've discovered that with love and reliability on what we're passionate about, we can conquer these feelings of affliction.

Love is whatever makes you makes you feel full and content, and is what helps you make it through the day. It's always there for us to cheer us up on a rainy day, and no matter what goes wrong in life, it's always there to back you up. Without it, we feel empty. Whatever it is that we love, it's the thing that makes life exciting to live, and gives us fulfillment.

When most individuals think of love, they think of another person. This is the most powerful form of love, which generally consists of friends and family. However, this satisfaction and fulfillment we receive from love does not always have to be provided by just one single human being. Love can be radiated from almost anything; from a pretty day to sport. All forms of love are powerful, no matter where it comes from, and has the ability to shield us from days in which we are at our lowest.

Love is our fallback and biggest supporter; it's critical to find something that fills the heart. Whether it be yourself, food, your family, music, art, your best friend, clothes, technology, or anything else that helps you get through the day, appreciate its value more than anything and hold onto it for as long as you can.

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.
