Summer is my favorite time of year. There are so many beautiful things and life feels freer.

Here are some things to find happiness in this summer; and all year round.

1. Friends

@lindseyyeltonn

"Life was meant for good friends and great adventures."

2. Plants

@thejungalow

Plants are a reminder that everything grows with love.

3. Animals

@_ariesmermaid

"If having a soul means being able to feel love and loyalty and gratitude, then animals are better off than a lot of humans."

4. Music

@kgrossmanphoto

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything."

5. Clouds

@_ariesmermaid

"Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky."

6. Earth

@_ariesmermaid

"And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair."

7. A book

@submerged_smoker

"Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life."

8. Your inner voice

@moodbymoss

'Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, stop caring about what others think.'

9. Someone you love

"Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows."

12. The moon

@_ariesmermaid

"The moon is a loyal companion. It never leaves. It's always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it's a different version of itself."

13. A body of water

@_ariesmermaid

"Water is the essence of life: The ocean, healthy rivers, lakes, and wetlands are good for our minds and bodies." - Wallace J. Nichols

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.
