I want you to take into account what actually caused you to feel this way.

Has someone ever said to you, "You're acting like you're mad at the world" or "You look like you're mad at the world"?

When that happens, you might think to yourself: Maybe I am mad at the world.

If you have thought that to yourself (I am mad at the world and everyone in it), I want you to think about what has happened that caused you to feel that way. I want you to take into account what actually caused you to feel this way.

Ask yourself these questions: Am I just not in the mood to be around people? Am I just angry at something that happened in the day?

These are two questions that will help you understand what is making you mad at the world. Answering these questions fully and honestly will allow you to take another moment to really understand yourself.

So if you answered yes to the first question, then why are you not in the mood? Are you depressed? Are you just tired? What is causing you to not be in the mood to be around others? When you have identified that and understood that, then see what you can do to fix it. Maybe you have to fix yourself.

If you answered yes to the second question, then the main thing to do is to understand what you can learn from it. Take the time to look at everything as a positive, or in other terms, a blessing in disguise.


By the end of this, I want you to be able to have identified the true problem, able to understand why it is the problem, know how to fix it, and continue to fix it when it occurs again.

This will help you to continue the journey of understanding yourself and understanding how to express what you truly feel.

This is important because we have be able to fully communicate how we feel in the best way possible.

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.
