Love Reality VS. Self-Thinking
Pictures 4Ever

Love is a weird thing that is very different to people. But is it truthfully? Not really. There is what we think love is and then there is what love is in reality. But everyone thinks differently and it can be difficult to decide the difference between just a thought and the reality.

So, in most people’s eyes, love is finding someone that you can agree with but not fully. It also means that the two people were meant to be together. These two people usually are interested in each other and have usually known each other for a while or so. They could get to know each other very well over the course of days, weeks or months and be very comfortable with one another. This ends up being a friendship, then best friends, and then they become a couple. This is the most common thought concerning love, but it is not the only one. Most people think of love as a way to meet a soulmate or the person that will be with them forever.

In reality, love is nothing more than the hardest thing you could ever possibly do. It is a road that gets traveled way too many times and only gets more and more divots. Everyone who travels down this road is met with hardship and the fact that it is just fights, arguments and anger. Metaphorically, it rains pain and hardship. But those who take the time and work through everything with their significant other can make to the end of the road and be able to say they found true happiness. This is true and to most people, it is what their thought process points out love as. This version most people do not agree with but everyone at least knows this way as true or just a thought.

So, the one question that is on everyone’s mind as they read this article is why love is so strange? Well, it is because no one even understands it. So, if it is so misunderstood then why do we seek it so much? Will anyone ever know what it means? Probably not to be honest, but ever since ancient times, people fell in love with other people. Love, whether reality or just your own definition, is a very misunderstood and complex thing to have and experience. And this makes things complicated and can be particularly strange to everyone. So, go find love and see how your definition varies from person to person, and relationship to relationship.

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.

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.
