With A Positive Mindset, You Can Have The Time Of Your Life

As a person who can easily get lost in the dark corridors of my mind, I understand how difficult it can be sometimes to maintain a smile on my face for the sake of passing just another ridiculous day.

And sometimes it can get even harder when all you want to do is enjoy your day, enjoy your time -- enjoy your Summer.

Keeping a positive mindset isn't easy, albeit of how hard one tries. Keeping a positive mind is a tremendous and difficult challenge, one that will make you go through tough situations.

It's a hard situation, one which we should never give up on because keeping a positive mindset affects many areas in our life:

It does not affect just our mental health, but also our physical health, our social bonds, the way we go about through the day.

You can say I'm an advocate of loving yourself and all that crap you might find obnoxious because that's what everybody always tell us: "You'll be fine." "Things will change for the greater." "You don't have to worry about it.""You're just exaggerating."

The level of hyperbolization we use sometimes is a mirror of the state in which our mental health is, and just know that it is okay to feel the way you are feeling; it be mad, sad, anxious, terrified. All those negative feelings are understandable. We all feel them. Hell, even I get angry many times, and people usually think I am just a sweetheart who would never hurt an ant.

A great mind once said, "The only thing impossible is impossibility." And fortunately, for us, the word "impossible" is more of a subjective term. You determine the impossible realities of life. And once you do this, you'll realize that every problem has a solution.

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.
