What Summer Means To Me
healthyanswers.com

Summer is the time when the flowers are in full bloom, the sun rays are beating down the necks of all people, and the bees won't give up swarming all around. It's the season when children and teachers are out of school, the time when many families take vacations together to exotic places, and the time when birds are the new alarm clocks for many people. There is so much freedom that comes along with this incredible season. The freedom to choose how to spend your free time and what you make of the moments that come your way. Summer has always been a notorious time for adolescents who can finally relax from studying hard and trying their best to complete assignments as best they can. To me, summer is not only a time to unwind and relax, but it is a season that makes me realize how beautiful life really is.

As mentioned before, for many, summer is a time that allows freedom for activities. Many individuals take advantage of the beautiful weather. The warm crisp air that brushes along your face while the wind blows from any direction. Some of my favorite parts are the moments where I lie in the grass and look up at the sky and clouds, while listening to the birds chirp. While I look around to see mother nature I realize how truly beautiful the world is. The way it was made shows the love and care for humanity. although there are times when destruction seems inevitable, this Earth is home to over 7 billion people. It is astonishing to realize that most will never see all the beauty this world beholds, but through the power of communication, we can get an idea of what our home looks like.

Along with the beauty of nature, the beauty that humanity brings is wonderful as well. You see the architecture in cities and appreciate the design people work hard to achieve. The skylines become staples for people across the globe to connect with and use as a symbol we call home. We often work together to make things happen and come together. Construction is a big part of summer, but it is something that expands the beauty that is held within the ideas of the human mind. Little children sell lemonade at stands, only to bring smiles to many faces as civilians pass by. It shows the sweet innocence that children retain while adults are forced to grow up and build upon this world for those of future generations.

Summer showcases a circle of life. People wandering streets and open areas together and enjoying mother nature. The crisp air is enjoyed by many and it is for these reasons that summertime is one of the favorites for many. Whether you see the bees buzzing or hear the birds chirping, sit back and relax. Enjoy what the world has to offer and let your mind wander.

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.

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.
