Take The Good And The Bad And Go
Pixabey

Life is so scary because you have no idea what tomorrow may bring. Now just because life is scary doesn't mean it isn't great. Life is full of so many different ups and downs that you have to remember to take the good and the bad and go.

I'm sure you've heard this before but whenever life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Although lemons are bitter if you make lemonade with them you've made something good. So take the good and the bad & go. Whenever you fall off of your bike for the first time you instantly probably think that bike riding isn't for you but in order for you to see the beauty of it you have to be willing to take the good and the bad & go. That just goes to show that good can come from the bad.

When meeting new people in life you have to remember that every one isn't pure gold. So be willing to take the good and the bad & go. What frightens people most when taking the bad is the slight chance that they may fail. Failure is okay, look for the good and learn from the bad.

The biggest life lesson thus far that I've learned is to take the good and the bad & go. Go on a trip, go on a run, go on that date, or even go take a nap. Go do what you want to do (unless your mom says no) in life, because you only get one! Live life to the fullest and watch yourself grow.

In order to grow you have to give yourself the room to grow. Everyone grows at a different point in life so don't be so quick to rush your time, it'll come. The journey is sweet so find time to enjoy it. Don't spend all of your time stressing about things that you have no control over but investing your time in things that make you happy. Being happy is a vital part of life so BE HAPPY!

Just think for a second, when was the last time that you took the good and the bad? Did you go? Did the bad scare you? Did it encourage you to find the good? Only you can answer those questions. Let the answers determine your next move in life whether it be small or big. So I encourage you; take the good and the bad & go!

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.
