One Day Too Late

40
Live Life to the Fullest
Ajay Joseph

Imagine you have $84,600 in a bank account every morning. It carries no balance day to day and you can’t make any deposits, only withdrawals. At night, the bank deletes whatever portion you didn’t spend and you can never get that money back. Essentially that’s money wasted. And wasting money is not wise. So what do you do? Draw out every cent of course.

See each of us has a bank. The bank is called time. Every morning it’s filled with 84,600 seconds for you to use. If you fail to use the daily deposits, the loss is yours. Like I said earlier, you can’t carry over money – time – you didn’t use the next day. You must live in the deposits of the present. Use it and invest in happiness, health, joy, and success. The clock is ticking. Make the most of today.

I really like the phrase "one day too late" because tomorrow isn't a guarantee. The next second, even the next breath you take isn't a guarantee. We only have the moment we're in. I think there is more to life than just holding grudges against other people. Sometimes people hold grudges for years and when something thatcomplicated is stored inside someone for so long? It can make you sick.

We're alive. Now. Don't take your time to make the most of it. I know the phrase "make the most of every moment" is cliche and cheesy, but I do think it holds a lot of truth to it. Even something as mundane as doing homework is a blessing because there are people all over the world who want an education.


The time is now to be happy and live life to the fullest. Because tomorrow could be one day too late.

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.
