13 Quotes to Live By

These are some quotes I keep saved on my phone and put them as my lock screen when I need some motivation.

2. The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit.

3. To be prepared against surprise is to be trained. To be prepared for surprise is to be educated. -James P Carse

4. Let your smile change the world, but don't let the world change your smile.

5. The harder you work for something, the greater you'll feel when you achieve it.

6. We either make ourselves miserable or we make ourselves strong. The amount of work is the same. -Carlos Castenada

7. Champions don't show up to get everything they want; they show up to give everything they have.

8. If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have time to do something about it.

9. What we see depends mainly on what we look for. -John Lubbock

10. In two weeks, you'll feel it. In four weeks, you'll see it. In eight weeks, you'll hear it.

11. It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's when transformation happens. That's how change occurs.

12. One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you can't change.

13. Pressure is a privilege.

Hope that these were extremely helpful, no matter the situation you're going through.

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.

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.
