Purpose, Beliefs, and the Journey Ahead

Everyone needs something to believe in, whether it is a cause, some kind of god , or their own motto of how they choose to live their life. A belief that this is not all for nothing, that everyday does in fact count, and that we were put on this planet for a purpose. Our journey is either not identified yet or in the process of being written.

The optimists of our world choose to believe in the greater good, and they are not yet discouraged, even when society consistently fails us, they still have hope that one day things will turn for the better. Although, the realists out weigh the optimists of our world.

Realists are the ones who are constantly giving the dreamers reality checks, and they do not believe that dreams come true, instead they put up this persona that life happens, and we have to choose how we roll with it or not.

Our world consists of people who rarely dream of something greater, magical, and almost surreal. Yes, everyone has dreams, but who really tries to make those dreams a reality. The ones who turn their dreams into their reality are the ones who believe in something that is bigger than themselves. Those who think that anything is possible, and that life is not yet discouraged by us.

Some believe that everything happens for a reason, and that the events that take place in our life are meant to help create us into the person we are today, and are meant to be. Then, there are some who think that life is not fair..And to short..Those are the ones who decide to dwell on the past, and all the heartache and disappointment of life, instead of use that to become a stronger human being, and face their fears that they believe that life has nothing good in store for them.That is simply untrue. The best is yet to come. Sometimes you have to endure the hardships that reality and life has to throw your way, to come to the realization that every chance is an opportunity for greatness, and every hope is a belief that we can be whomever we imagine, and that second chances do exist for those lucky enough to accept the opportunity to start over. “Because sometimes you have to step outside of the person you’ve been, and remember the person you where meant to be, the person you wanted to be, the person you are.”(One Tree Hill)

Believe.. Believe that you have a purpose, a journey, and that not matter what spins your life takes, no one can change the way you choose be not ordinary but extraordinary.

“Believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.”(One Tree Hill)

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.
