Surround Yourself With People That Feel Like Sunshine

Your people are out there, you just have to find them.

They say you are who you surround yourself with, but I never noticed how true that was until I started spending more time with people who feel like sunshine.

Our friends have such an impact on us. From the things we say, to the clothes we wear, how we act and even what we eat. We are all so susceptible to the influences of those around us, so surround yourself with people who make you feel good.

True friendships are something so special, but they don't happen overnight. Friendships, like relationships, take time to develop so don't get discouraged if you haven't found "your people".

Though I've never had trouble making friends, I didn't feel like I truly found my people until almost a year ago.

They came into my life when I was struggling and saved me from myself without even knowing it. They're the ones I can call at all hours of the night and they're the people I want to tell everything to.

They make the bad times good and the good times great.

They showed me what being a friend really means. Their endless support gives me strength and with them behind me, I feel like there's nothing I can't do.

They are my sunshines.

The people that make you genuinely smile and laugh uncontrollably are the people you should be around!

Seek out friendships with people that make you feel like family.

Find people that call you immediately when you say you're having a bad day.

Find people that lighten your load by adding onto theirs.

Find people that listen even when they don't know what to say.

Find people that feel like home. Find people that feel like sunshine.

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.
