Always Go Towards The Light

It's important to have goals in order to survive tough times.

Nothing in life is ever certain, and many people feel lost because they don't know where they are currently going.

College students often feel this way, and are unsure of their path in the future or what they event want their future to look like. The uncertainty of what young adults want in their future can make it seem like they aren't going anywhere, which causes them to feel lost.

Understanding what we want, who we want to be, and what we want to do can make it possible to find our end goal and stay on the right path no matter what happens in the middle.

Seeing the light ahead can make it easy to know where to go, but the darkness around us is still a terrifying reality. The path towards the light may be clear, but making progress on that path can seem like an uphill battle. No matter what happens in the darkness, it is always possible to reach the light.

People often fall away from their sight of the end when they begin to experience trying times, but those times are temporary. Goals can always be reached, whether it is in five days from now or five years from now. We can always get to the end, but we must stay committed to our path for it to be possible.

Anything that happens can knock us backwards, and these instances are what makes the journey hard. However, by pushing through the tough things in life, it is possible to realize any goal we set our minds to. While we may not always be moving forward, we are always on the right path: the path to the light.

Remember that even when you want to give up and things may seem dark, it's only temporary. Follow the light, and you'll be alright.

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.

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.
