A Reminder That You Are Awesome
Page A Day

Everyone is dealing with stress. Maybe you're worried about how you're going to pay your bills, how you're going to finish all your homework in time, or you're just concerned about your alarm not waking you up for an important meeting the next morning. No matter what it is, there's stress in everyone's life.

Everyone always loves to remind us of why we should be worrying about our lives, but I hardly ever hear about people just telling me "good job" and "keep up the good work." So, I have decided to make that my job for a day. I want to remind each and every one of you that you are awesome. Forget about the stress every once in a while and think about all that you've accomplished. Just because something is giving you a struggle now does not mean it's impossible or that you can't do it. Look back on the other times you couldn't succeed but then you did. Remember how that felt. And, after you've rediscovered your awesomeness, then you can be ready to tackle your tasks now.

It's also important to remember the things you love about life. Friends, family, a hobby that you couldn't live without. All of these can really help keep you sane when you have all this other stress in your life. Don't forget that you need rest too, so sit back, watch some Netflix, play a game with your family, whatever you want to do to get your mind off life for a little while. Naps are my personal favorite. The world is still spinning and will not stop just because you took a break from reality. Sometimes that's all you need to be able to get back on your feet and finish everything you need to do. There's a reason people have days off. People can't physically work 24/7, which means you have to remember to give yourself that break time. Plus, you deserve it. You've worked hard, it's time to go out and have fun with some friends.

Life is constantly knocking at our door, and every once in a while we just have to let it wait. We're all expected to do so much all at once, and while you have to remind yourself that you are capable of doing it all, you still need to take steps back and rest. Plan your time wisely. If you have to, mark in your calendars when you're going to relax and do whatever you want, so that you don't lose your mind while making your schedule.

The world is so lucky to have you here, but it can wait whenever you need a day or two to recuperate. Everyone will appreciate that you've gotten your head back after you've rested. Just don't forget that you're awesome, you've already done so much, and you will be able to get through whatever you need to get through next.

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.
