A Story to Society: The Real Mission

Walk through the door with me, to a place where nothing is as it seems. Why is that? Because everything is topsy-turvy, absolutely nothing makes sense, and it has turned life into this great big mess. What is it you ask? Well, let me tell you this, it's called "journey", and no one has ever been able to prove why it doesn't make sense.

Imagine this, you wake up one morning to find yourself seeing the world in a different way, in fact, everything that you deem worthy are tossed to the side, with the intrusive thoughts of hurdling towards your face. "Why is there a pile up on the I-85 up the road, what were those idiots doing?" You ask yourself, yet you do not realize that if you had been there five minutes ago while driving down the road too fast than your normal driving time?

Riddle me this dear reader, have you ever thought about what you are doing each second of the day? No, you are not. Instead you are just doing, not really thinking. Think of it like this, you walk throughout the day with plans on your mind, yet, by the end of the day you didn't realize the many doors you had to walk through. Did you speak with your manager about moving on up? Or did you just sit there, with your head down, just absolutely giving up?

Each day we are presented a set of doors, each one connected to certain events, they might be so upfront, in fact, it complete and utter silent mess. We pick and choose, sometimes not so wisely, but nevertheless it certainly makes no sense. And that is life, there is no rhyme or reason, and there is no such thing as right place or right time, because everyone's own life is on it's own path, and to say that everyone must stick to a strict time clock is absolutely absurd. Because if we really think about it we all move at a different speed, in fact there is a quote floating around the atmosphere that says, "we are all in the same storm, just different boats".

Pretty interesting right? Now, dear reader, have thought about this? Reread this and listen to the lesson, the one that is written in a dramatic fashion. Ask yourself this, are you aware how your life will be affected? Are you prepared for everything you say to make your life go on a whirlwind coaster?

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.
