Planning For EveryTHING Isn't The Best Plan For EveryONE

Let's face it; planning is stressful.

Planning For EveryTHING Isn't The Best Plan For EveryONE

Honestly, planning everything throughout your life sucks. I've done it and it had ultimately lead to disappointment or had actually worked out. It's frustrating living life like that.

What I have learned through these last few months of my 19 years on this planet is that planning for everything is not realistic and leads to overwhelming expectations that can't be met in some cases.

Examples of life's spontaneity are when you just stub your two and then later find a dollar in your sweatpants pocket.

You honestly didn't plan to buy a 99-cent coke from the machine today but you had a dollar. And does your foot hurt from working all day and should you go to the hospital to see if your toe is broken maybe?

Though I am really young and have only been through a small sliver of life I've seen/heard a lot of things that give me many different perspectives.

Sometimes it's better to just sit back and see how life unfolds in some cases it may be good or bad. As people, we take the good and the bad and just roll with it.

Though at first, it may be difficult to start just letting things go, trust me I know.

According to Inc.com, it's important to manage your stress but also develop positive and healthy affirmations.

The point of this article is to show how unpredictable life can be and it really happens to everyone . things do go out of sync and that's perfectly okay.

As Ariana Grande would say "just keep on breathin'" because things will get better and things won't go as planned all the time and once you realize that you will be more content and know what to expect and don't let one miss hap ruin your day.

Starting a day with a bad attitude can lead to a bad week, a bad month or even year. This sort of funk can set things totally off the rails and no one wants to live life like that.

Perspective is the most important thing a person can have within themselves and perspective allows us to see things from different point of views and different struggles and successes.

If someone were to plan every second of their day it could lead an overwhelming feeling of being trapped within the schedule. Sometimes having little bumps down the road are good things to distract you from the daily stresses of life. being productive is important and setting time for work and events is important but it is also important to find time to enjoy life and relax.

Sometimes you have no idea what you may be doing that day and that's okay because some of the best things that happen in life aren't planned to a T. yes, is it important to prepare for some things, like a big meeting absolutely but what the point I am attempting to make is to enjoy the little surprises life has to offer.

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.
