Quotes are like life's miniature lessons encapsulated into a sentence or two. Sometimes quotes are formed around a certain realization after a specific experience. Sometimes they stem from a deeper realization. Nevertheless, I love quotes because they can help normalize our problems, motivate or inspire us, and/or give us new outlooks on a certain situation or idea. Values, morals, life-lessons, epiphanies, angers, and more can all be captured within a single quote. While sometimes we must experience a quote's meaning or realization in order to truly understand it, reading them can make us aware of these ideas in the first place. I personally just like reading quotes to give myself a little boost of motivation or hope at the start of my day.

So-- here are some of my favorite quotes that have to do with loving yourself, loving others, life, motivation, struggles, and more.

1. "Once you stop looking for what you want, you'll find what you need."

2. "If you're doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you've come."

3. "It's too easy to focus on the imperfect and take for granted the things we should be grateful for."

4. "Treat yourself the same way you'd treat a friend. "

5. "We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us." -John Campbell

6. "You only get one chance at life. You're born once, you die once. But you can change the middle as much as you want."

7. "Be who you are, say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." -Dr. Seuss

8. "There's no harder, only hard."

9. "If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way." -Martin Luther King Jr.

10. "Think of a time you were embarrassed. Easy, right? Now think of a time someone else was embarrassed. It's a lot harder to do, isn't it?"

11. "It does not matter how slowly you go, as long as you don't stop." -Confucius

12. "Stop hating yourself for everything that you aren't, and start loving yourself for everything you already are."

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.
