Summer of '19

I guess, it was worth writing a song for!

Summer of '19

I am just glad to be back, writing after a long time finally! The past few months have been a real roller coaster. With all the ups and downs in such a short time, the ride was a bumpy one! But through it all, there are a few things I learnt which are life lessons!

If they give you a bad vibe, trust your instincts!

Giphy

Because almost 10 out of 10 times..YOU ARE CORRECT!!

I have learnt, no matter how new you are to a situation, always trust your instincts and as it turns out, most of the times others might be feeling the same. It could be about a person, situation or an incident in general.

What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger

Giphy

And killing doesn't even need a sharp tool, your own thoughts are sometimes enough to choke you. But if you survive that, I think the battle is won.

If you ask enough times, you'll mostly get what you are chasing

Giphy

Be it a discount, class this semester or a salary hike, doesn't hurt to ask.

Always value those who care for you even in your absence

It is easy to be sweet to people on their face but very few take the pains to continue caring for you when you are gone. Never leave these gems, they are your true friends!

People can listen to problems for you, but only you can solve them

Giphy

I just felt like the past few months were the longest cribbing session I've had. But through it, I ultimately had to figure a way to make peace with things and find out what worked for me and kept me going, although I could use some cheering up from my friends.

Humans are social animals..lol

It might sound funny but I've realized that both the parts of this sentence are equally true!! and you'll need a a company to share your happiness and sorrow equally and make sure to find a human!

It's okay to quit sometimes

Giphy

You don't need to force things on yourself that you don't like. You deserve a break or to walkout from a wrong choice.

People who mock you are actually the most insecure ones from inside

Giphy

Something someone once told me and it is so true!

It is worth the wait

Whatever it is that you are looking for, a boyfriend or a job or a university admit...hang in there. Because the best thing take time!

Trust the timing

Giphy

Just like the previous timing, in times of impatience, just trust the timing of the universe (trust me this sounded cooler in my head..haha). But really sometimes, things do work out perfectly if we give them the time to

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.
