There Is Peace In Chaos

Life can be difficult and stressful, but peace can still be found even during hard times.

Life is hard.

There are so many aspects to life that are unknown and that can seem intimidating. Not knowing all of the answers to everything can be hard to deal with and can generate a lot of stress. Not knowing how something is going to work out can also make a person feel anxious and uneasy. It is easy to let the fear of the unknown into your mind and have it take over and control you. Sometimes it is a lot harder to actually reason with yourself and tell yourself everything will work out the way it should. This is harder to do because it is the right thing to do. The more you can become at peace instead of letting fear dominate your mind, the better off you will be.

When life becomes hectic stress usually comes along with it. I know when I am really busy and feeling overwhelmed I often stress myself out wondering how I will get done everything I want to accomplish. It is easy to become hard on yourself when there is a lot of unknown or you are dealing with a jammed schedule. However, no matter how busy you are or what you are feeling anxious about, you still deserve peace. You have to be willing to find peace in the unknown chaos that is life. Letting fear and stress take over will only make you feel worse about whatever is going on. If you can somehow still find peace even in the hardest, darkest times, you will save yourself a lot of stress on your mind and body. But, you might be thinking, finding peace is hard. How can I feel at peace when there is so much I do not know or cannot control? Those are valid points but if you become a nervous wreck over everything you did not know, you would be a mess all of the time. Working yourself up over things out of your control just isn't worth it. It runs you down and uses all of your energy. You have to be willing to still be at peace even when everything seems uncertain. You have to be willing to trust that everything will work out the way it should.

The saying "Faith over Fear" is a good mantra for finding peace even in stressful situations. You cannot control some things that happen to you but you can control how you handle it. You have to be willing to put things into perspective, reason with yourself and sometimes completely rely on faith to get through things. Everyone will find peace differently and you just have to figure out what works for you. If you can somehow still find peace amongst a sea of uncertainty than you have won and fear has lost.

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.
