Things might not be going exactly like you had planned or imagined, but that doesn't necessarily mean that things are wrong, messed up, or bad.

It doesn't really matter what it is. Whether it's a relationship, career, or even something as simple as a club or activity you had planned. If it's not going the way you thought it would, that could actually be a good thing.

Sometimes it's ok if things are different than how you expected them to be. Sure, in the moment it can feel frustrating and upsetting, but it doesn't always have to be that way.

It often depends on how you view the situation. If you try to find the positive in your situation, good thoughts and good things can come from it. You will start to see things differently and have a brighter outlook on what it is you are trying to accomplish and just life in general.

You might want to give up at times. It's not always easy to keep pushing forward, especially when things seem like they aren't working out. Several of the most influential, inspiring, and incredible people who have made a huge impact on others and the world around them have contemplated giving up at one point or another. If they had given up, they wouldn't have made these great accomplishments.

Sometimes, one thing doesn't work out so that a different opportunity could arise, perhaps even a better one. Don't let these opportunities pass you by. Try to just go with it and make the most out of things. The outcome can be better than anything you could have even imagined in the first place. Try to be open to new possibilities.

If you give up, you already know you don't really have a chance of whatever it is that you wanted to work out. But if you hang in there and keep going, you are giving things a chance to work out. You never know, if you really give it your all you can even surprise yourself in what you are capable of doing and achieving.

Ultimately, you have to believe in yourself. Only you can decide what will help motivate you and what will help you stay on track to succeed in doing whatever it is you are set out to accomplish. You can be successful, happy, and do something truly amazing. You just have to trust that you can do it and that things will work out for the best. Take things day by day, even minute by minute, and try your hardest to just let everything happen naturally. Things aren't always going to be easy, but hopefully, they will be worth it. You can do it. Figure out what exactly it is that you want to achieve and then try your best to make it happen.

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.
