1. It's okay to not want to stay in one place, to not want to be with the same people. It’s okay to get bored of people, just make sure you're not actually bored of yourself.

2. You can restart your life as many times as you want, just find comfort in starting over.

3. There is no such thing as feeling "too much". Feel every emotion that washes over you to the fullest, good or bad.

4. Everything won't always work out. Life will not just fall into place, but work with what you have while you have it.

5. Let yourself get hurt, a flower doesn't grow without a storm.

6. Growing up does not entail life slowing down; no one can stay young forever.

7. You are allowed to feel sorry for yourself, just don't force others to feel sorry for you too.

8. It's okay to not know how you feel, it's okay to be scared, but don't live your life behind closed doors. Nothing will tear you apart more than watching someone live the life you created for yourself but were too afraid to live.

9. You may not feel bad lying to those around you, but lying to yourself will haunt you every day.

10. Be positive, but don’t hide from the negativity in the world— despite your best efforts it will always be there.

11. Listen to other people's advice, but don't always take it; chances are they don't know what's best for you.

12. If someone is walking on eggshells around you, expect to see them to walk away from you.

13. Being selfish for your own mental health Is 100% allowed, but remember your actions do effect those around you.

14. Change who you are, but only for yourself.

15. Fall in love, but don't forget that falling out of love is beautiful too.

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.

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.
