The Search For Life's Deeper Meanings Is SO Worth It
YouTube

If you're someone who is constantly searching for deeper meaning to life, you're constantly full of hopes. You hope for relationships that create deep emotional connections. You hope for a mind set that makes you eager to explore the world. You hope for the ability to find yourself and your purpose on earth. You want all these experiences because you truly want to experience the feeling of feeling alive.

Know that if you're on one of these journeys, there is light at the end of the tunnel. You might have a few bad relationships before you reach the one that is meant to be. You might change your career path one or ten times before you find the one you love. You may lose sight of what you want while trying to find yourself. But it is in these times that we begin to find our answers.

The people who come into our lives can show us true love. This is the kind of love that makes your heart beat and gives you goosebumps. Falling in love can make you feel like you're on a cloud and you're never coming down. Love can make you feel alive.

Having love for friends and family can also make you feel this way. Having a support system and a group of people who truly care and motivate you can make you feel like your place on earth is validated and important. They give you a reason to live life fully.

It's also the things we do for ourselves that make us feel alive. From little adventures around town to vacations in foreign countries, new places offer us new insight to counter what we already know. New experiences like going to college or moving across the country can open a door we may have been afraid to open before.

These risks and new beginnings can actually be the beginning of our lives. They can cause us to try something new or to question what we already know, helping us find what we didn't know we were searching for within ourselves.

Experiences that make our heart race and our adrenaline rush are the ones that make us feel alive. When we look back and say, "Wow, imagine if I didn't do that? My life wouldn't be the same" or "I would've never known I was capable of this," that's when you know it was all worth it. Searching for deeper meanings within our lives is how we find ourselves. It is how we live every day on earth to fullest and truly feeling that statement and not just saying it.

For the people on the journey for deeper meanings, stick to it. For those who are afraid, take the leap. Know that better days and a better you can benefit from taking chances, exploring the world, falling in love, and changing things up. It's scary but that's why the outcome is so rewarding and fulfilling.

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.

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.
