Having curly hair can be a blessing and a curse. There's days when you love it and days when you want to chop it off. These are some of the struggles curly haired people have to deal with on a daily basis:

Curly hair is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get.

Sometimes you wake up and it's in the same state it was in last night. Other days you're wondering what the hell happened to it, and how did its form change. The wind and humidity also has a dramatic effect on your hair. It can go from nice, bouncy curls to looking like a giant poof ball in seconds.


People sometimes ask you if your hair is real.

Yes, my hair is real. No, you cannot touch it.

They also ask why you don't brush it.

If you've never seen someone brush their curly hair, ask them to try it. You're in for a good laugh.

You're always asking other curly haired girls what hair products they use.

After a while, curly hair just won't style with the products you've used for years, so you're always asking for other recommended products to maintain the poof.

You always want to straighten your hair.

Let's face it - even though it can take a few hours to straighten your hair, it's so much easier to maintain that way.

People always say "I wish I had your hair".

Sure, take it! Let me know when it starts getting hard to deal with and you want to give it back.

Haircuts are tough.

If you cut the slightest bit off, it can drastically change the shrinkage of your hair.

And so are hairstyles.

Have you ever tried braiding curly hair? It's pretty darn difficult! If you notice girls with curly hair, they mostly have it down because trying other hairstyles is almost impossible.

You wouldn't trade your curly hair for the world.

Through the pain and suffering of having curly hair, you love your bouncy and voluminous hair and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

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.
