Many may think I am cliche because of my love and obsession for quotes. They fill my room, twitter and my mind. However, they all share the same quality: they're positive. Positive words will give you a changed perspective and a positive outlook on life. Here are five quotes I remind myself of every day:

1. "Owning our stories and loving ourselves is the bravest thing we will ever do." - Brenne Brown

Loving yourself is one of the most complex and difficult ideas to practice and accomplish. Positivity will be more present when you start to love yourself and encourage yourself to stay strong through the process of life. In order to do this, we have to own our story by owning and loving every aspect of our lives that has happened and is yet to come. Show the world that you are brave enough to handle it!

2. "Everyday may not be good, but there is something good in every day." - Unknown

Let's face it, we all have bad days every now and then—and some more than others. Don't let one bad day drag you into a slump of negativity. Maybe your dog died, or maybe you failed a test. But you could have found a dollar on the ground or received a free coffee. When my family sits down at the dinner table we do "peaks and pits." You are allowed to say one negative piece to your day (pit) and as many positive aspects as you want (peak). This allows us all to help each other stay positive and find the good in every day!

3. "Happiness is letting go of what you think you're life is supposed to look like and celebrating it for everything that it is." - Mandy Hale

We all have a dream life that we base our daily decisions off of in hopes of achieving. This dream life is ruled by unattainable expectations that lead us to disappointment when they are not reached. We need to embrace the triumphs and accomplishments we do have and we will learn what true happiness really is. Don't let impossible expectations hold you back from living your life.

4. "Life is tough my darling, but so are you." - Stephanie Bennett-Henry

Let's be honest, life really sucks sometimes. It is unexpected, complicated and frustrating. But we are all strong enough to handle it. God only gives you challenges you can handle, so face them with confidence and learn from them. The battles we face, shape our character and lives for the better so embrace the struggle because you are tough enough.

5. "Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive that is youer than you." - Dr. Suess

This is my all time favorite quote. We are all different and unique. If everyone was the same, this world would be a very boring place to live in. Embrace your humor, character, intelligence, creativity and integrity. Stop focusing on being like someone else or being better than someone else and be the best version of yourself every day. No one can live your life better than 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.
