There's no time for tomorrow

Make your life count today

There's no time for tomorrow
Testimonies of hope

Life is full of surprises. You never know what is lurking around the next corner. The world today has shown us that tomorrow is not promised. I used to be a person that would “wait until tomorrow” but now I know that if I want to help myself make a difference in this world, if I want to leave my “mark” on the world I live in, then it must be done today.

I have always believed in living life with no regrets and living each day to the fullest. However, this must be done right. I do not believe in “getting the good while it’s worth getting”. Living life to the fullest isn’t partying as much as you can, or sleeping with as many people as you can just for the sake of it. Living life to the fullest means to never go a day without making a difference. Never cease to make someone happy because they make you happy.

One of my favorite things to do is make at least one person smile every day. I do theatre because I love it, because being on or around the stage is what makes me feel alive. Living with no regrets means that I will never pass up the opportunity to be a part of doing what I love. To me living with no regrets means I will not live the rest of my life in a career that I am not thrilled to go to every single morning. I’m going to be remembered for doing what I love and being really dang good at it. The mark I leave on this world may not be monumental. There will probably be no buildings named after me, or statues built in my honor, but that’s okay. I used to think that I needed to be famous to really be remembered but that isn’t the kind of infamy I crave for.

The way I love my husband and he loves me, I want to be remembered for that love. The friendship I give to those closest to me, I want to be remembered for the smiles I gave them every day of our friendship. I thank God for the opportunities that he gives me every single day to make my difference in the world.

Now, this does not mean we shouldn’t go out and enjoy the things that life has to offer. Go out with friends, make memories that will last a life time. Those memories don’t have to end with you puking your guts out in the toilet after a night of a little to much drinking. We are not promised a certain amount of time. There are those who never get to experience any partsof life. There are also some that had their life taken away from them before they had a chance to really live. When I leave this world I want to know that I have lived every single day of my life fully. The world has given us constant reminders that we need to cherish every minute we have. With that said, why would you waste one more minute of this precious life that we have? Go out and be remembered for being great, for being you, because that’s the most important person you can be.

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.
