More Beautiful You

I wanted to take Jonny Diaz's song More Beautiful You and apply it to everyone.

More Beautiful You
we know your dreams

This is something that I've never done, but I really wanted to try it. I'm going to pick a song and analyze it. Not like classically analyzing a Bach Sonata for chords and form, but figure the meaning out and explain what this song means to me. I hope that maybe you can start to think a little deeper about your favorite songs. I know that I'm trying to think a little deeper as well. So, out of all of my favorite songs, which one should I pick? It's hard because I have many that have done so many thing for me through different times in my life. The one I'm going to choose this time is More Beautiful You by Jonny Diaz.

This song is about how there isn't a more beautiful you. We as people find flaws with ourselves. We are the first ones to spot the bad things about us and the last ones to admit that there is any good. In the end, it ends with us realizing that we are beautiful. It also talks about how there's someone who loves us and that he is able to take how we look at the world and look at it with an innocence. I a lot of people, including me miss looking at this world with a love and innocence.

So both verses start with a girl. the first verse the girl is 14 the second one she is 21 and it's all about how they are trying to achieve society's version of beauty. I can't tell you how many times I've looked through a magazine or at other girls around me wishing and hoping that I'd look like them one. And I can't tell you how many times that i felt like if looked different or acted different that I would be loved. But there are people who love you because you are you. Society version of beauty is very messed up so don't worry if you don't look like the cover of a magazine.

The bridge is my favorite part. I love that it says that we aren't too far to back away and to change and that we are still able to take are dark distorted view of this world and look at it as if we were children again. It's one of the most true things that I hear. One day, we will all be able to see this world and ourselves through our child selves because that's who we really are. We are the innocence of a child. We shouldn't have to be wrapped up in how we look or what type of person we are. I know this is cliche, but all are so beautiful in our own ways. Like the song says, there could never be a more beautiful you. It doesn't matter the lies that the world or society tells you. You shouldn't have to jump through hoops to be beautiful. You don't have to. Because there could never be a more beautiful you. Out of the seven and half billion people in this world, there is only one you.

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.
