A Reminder To The Cynics

Good people are everywhere

A Reminder To The Cynics
National Geographic Kids

Okay, yah, I'll admit sometimes I get in a zone and I think it's a hard world out there! Every man for himself! No one cares about anyone unless they benefit! But...BUT sometimes we need a reminder that isn't always the case. You'll meet a lot of people like that, like a lot a lot so watch out, but that doesn't mean the good people aren't out there. And they're everywhere too! People exist that are genuinely nice and here is your reminder of it.

Not everyone is out there trying to use or abuse you. Some people just want to brighten your day with as little as a smile or as big as baking you a cake. There's good people everywhere whether it's the people who want to actually help you learn and watch you succeed in life like teachers who you know are doing what they love as in help you because they aren't paid enough. Then there's other people like police officers and even volunteer fire fighters who risk their lives to help or save yours for a pretty low salary as well. Then there's the everyday people, the ones you see in the halls at school or the ones in the office. They'll genuinely ask you about your day because they either care or so nice they ask you out of habit of being nice. They'll ask you about that test or the report you had due. They remember the little things you seem to forget until they bring it up again. They make you feel important because you are important.

It's easy to be pessimistic, but sometimes you need to take a step back, no, a step forward and take a more narrow look at life. Look at an individual and see their goodness flowing from them from little actions for offering you a smile to holding the door for you or offering you a couple cents so the cashier doesn't have to come up with ninety five cents of cash and can just give you a full dollar back. Good people are everywhere and I feel like sometimes we all just need a reminder of that.

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.
