As this year has come to an end, I like to remember the f**kery that happened in 2015. Now, boys and girls...and people that read this, I'm not talking about only the bad, but the good too. Why not, right?

Where the F do I start? How about the start of 2015? I would like to say I started 2015 a little bumpy. I just decided to sleep around. Why? Because it's fun and I'm an adult. But then I realized that it wasn't a good way to take care of the left over baggage I brought in from the previous years. I also moved to New York on a limb and got involved with a much older guy. Hence, the death to a great legacy of the Black Widow (if yah catch my drift). Anyways, the year was already going too fast. I had blue hair, I turned 21, and went into a deep depression. I was still in school full time and had no way of knowing how to cope with stress.

I felt like I was suffocating. I got a job managing a cafe in Brooklyn and started to make some sort of move into a more positive direction, but I wasn't happy. I wanted more. I wanted to have my big girl job like I once had. I wanted to go back to LA. I wanted an adventure. I wanted to break the rules. I wanted him. I wanted to spend without thinking. The Black Widow was on the rise.

After numerous nights of drinking, smoking, partying, and was just going through "that phase" as we like to put it in 2015, I learned that the only way to get help is to help yourself. Is what you're doing right now what you really want out of life?

I made a change. I fought for what I wanted. I worked to hard to fall back into the rabbit hole I once dug myself into. It was time to get rid of the flat line of misfortunes and start living my life.

It's January 17, 2016 - into the new, I have a big girl job, a boyfriend, live in the city and everything seems to be moving. But that's just it; there is so much going on that I miss the simplicity. The bottom line: just as this article is everywhere, so was I. I was a bunch of different stories and situations. You have to appreciate the simple things in order to have them. Where I'm at is comfortable, but I have to keep moving. It's when we're comfortable that we begin to drift.

It's okay to never know, but just keep walking the line until you do know. It's always experiencing with what's happening right now. It's 2016, F**K "new year, new me" bulls**t and start thinking about where you want to be. Everyone is going to judge, but happiness is so much important that thoughts of sheep.

Reach for the damn moon.

Buffy Summers once said, "The hardest thing in this World is to live in it. Be brave. Live."

I love all of you and I'm here for you. Just don't call me at 3 a.m. - I'm sleping and will be super mad.,

Yours,

K

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
