Seven Reasons

Why you should never give up.

Seven Reasons
Marisa Salazar

I know where you are right now. You feel like there is no hope in this world. You feel worthless, disgusting, and used. You feel like you will not live up to anyone else's standards; and honey, that is right, the only standards you can live up to are your own. Here are seven reasons why you should never give up:

1) You deserve someone who actually sees your worth.

People are rude. Girls are brats. Boys are d***s. But that does not mean that they are always that way. There are millions of people who want your attention and millions of people who will adore you.

2) You were given rights, so use them.

You were born into this world, so make everyday count. You are not promised tomorrow, you are only promised the breath you take. You have human rights, you have the right to freedom, and you have the right to be yourself. If people do not like that, then so what.

3) You are more than a “piece of meat.”

In today’s world, it seems like everything is a booty-call. If you are into that sort of thing and your partner is too, then so be it. But if you do not like that activity and you still do it, then why are you doing it? You do not need to do anything you don’t want to do in fear of rejection from the opposite sex.

4) You have a reason on this earth that will make a difference to someone.

Believe it or not, you have the power to change someone’s life, whether it be good or bad. You may come across someone who needs you in their life to show them exactly what you are trying to find.

5) Someone will come along and show you that love takes multiple forms.

This can be discovered through friends, pets, family, you never know. Love is not just a guy and a gal, it takes place in millions of forms. Love the people you have and keep your heart open to new people who need it.

6) You can be missing the chance of a lifetime.

When you settle, you could be missing an opportunity. It can be traveling, meeting a person you need in your life, or a dream job. When you settle, you feel like you are stuck and can never leave... you can.

7) Life may seem hard, but the shining road is ahead.

Life is hard, there should seriously be a handbook for it. That being said, look at how many other things you thought you would never overcome. Look at how far you have come! Place your hand over your heart, that thump you feel is the shining road ahead. As long as your heart is beating, there is always a promise for a shiny new day.

The only person that can make you happy is you. You are the creator of your story so make it a good one and place the negative behind. You are the star of the movie

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.
