Love. The word that makes people feel everything good and terrifying at the same time. To love someone or something means to put your heart on the line. It means a wall is broken down, and its vulnerable to disappointment and hurt.

The thing is people spend so much time being terrified of feeling what they feel, they don't realize how much they're missing out on. When you wake up everyday feeling in love, with life, with a certain someone, with the waffles that are waiting for you downstairs it is one of the greatest feelings in the world.

Love is a part of human nature, it's an inevitable emotion that stems from somewhere deep in your subconscious. It's not purposeful if people could choose, life might be a little easier but not even close to as meaningful and exciting. Love does not by any means have to come from another person.

It's an absolutely beautiful thing to be able to hold someone so close to your heart, but love can come from a lot of things in a lot of different forms.


I love...

Genuinely kind people. My favorite type of people are the ones that are nice just for the sake of being nice, they don't need any sort of recognition to do good things. If they do charity work, they do it because they care, not for bragging rights. They are nice to everyone, not because they want to be considered a nice person, they just are because it's the best thing to do.

I love...

Making someone I care about laugh. You know there's a study that shows most people look at the person they care about most when something funny happens to see what their reaction is. I don't know about you, but making someone laugh is the best thing in the world, and you have to be lying if you don't think being called funny is hands down the best compliment.

I love...

Love. Just in general. I love the fact that other people have something or someone they love with their whole hearts. To be passionate is one of the greatest emotions life has to offer. The idea that there are aspects of people's lives that make them want to be driven is one of the most wonderful things to me.

I love...

People that take you out of your comfort zone. I believe life should be filled with different types of people with different types of ideas. To find those refreshing people that allow you to experience new things that you probably never would have thought of had you not met them.

I love...

Fuzzy blankets, when it's absolutely freezing. It is physically impossible to not feel safe and happy when your wrapped up in a blanket burrito with the fuzziest of blankets all around you.

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.
