A Love Letter To Food

2019
A Love Letter To Food

Dear Food,

I guess the best way to express how much you mean to me and countless others is to simply say this: thank you.

Thank you for always being there for us. You almost never fail to put us in a better mood, no matter how bad it was prior to eating. Whether it's cookies, pizza, ice cream, cheese, or even fruits and vegetables, you provide us with endless options for feeling better. You don't judge us or hurt our feelings, no matter how much we want to eat the entire pint or box. You're there for us first thing in the morning, you keep us going throughout the day, and you're even with us in the middle of the night. No matter what time of day it is, whenever we're away from you for a few hours, or just a few minutes, we think about how great it will be when we're reunited once again--and then when we are, we feel nothing but joy.

Thank you for bringing people together. Whether we're with old friends or new, whether the occasion is happy or sad, and whether we're out on the town or in for the night, you are the lifeblood of almost any social gathering. We bond over how great you are, and getting to share you with each other only brings us closer. Especially when it's pizza at 2 a.m.

Thank you for showing us how capable we are. When we think we're full, we will still welcome you with open arms. When we think we can't finish our plate, we somehow do, because we don't want to fail you when you never fail us. You consistently test our willpower (or lack thereof), training us to exercise it in anything else life may throw at us.

Finally, thank you for always giving us something great to post on Instagram or in our Snapchat stories. Because you bring us so much happiness, you deserve to be shown off to all our followers. Plus you're really pretty to look at (well, most of the time). Thank you for increasing the number of likes we get; that's another testament to how important you are.

Food, none of us are really sure where we'd be without you. But we do know one thing: you never let us down.

Sincerely,

Always Hungry

From sea to shining sea, the United States was uniquely positioned for an incredible Aurora Borealis display on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2024, going into Friday, Oct. 11.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.

Moana's Top 10 Life Tips

"Moana" is filled with life lessons that involve far more than finding true love as many other Disney movies do.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
