Though I May

"For every sad thing you think of, you should think of three happy things to chase it away." -Zoe Sugg

There are lots of things I may be. There are lots of things that can counter these "may be's" as well. Everyone has things about themselves that they're not particularly happy with. But, instead of focusing on the bad, focus on the good. Focus on the things you can do, and do well. Focusing on the negative aspects of yourself will get you nowhere. It's better to think about the positive aspects about yourself. So here are mine:

Though I may be bad at math, I'm excellent at English.

Though I may be shy, I have a great heart.

Though I may be young, I have an old soul.

Though I may get anxious a lot, I still try to stay happy.

Though I may have bad days, I still have the people that love me.

Though I may get bored easily, I'll always have books to read.

Though I may be a slow worker, I want what to take my time on what I do and have it be perfect.

Though I may think less of myself some days, the people I love think the world of me.

Though I may not always have the most money, I'd rather be happy.

Though I may think I can't, I can do anything I set my mind to.

Though I may not think I'm beautiful every day, my boyfriend thinks I am every day.

Though I may have one bad day, there are 1,000 more good days.

Though I may be a nerd, I'm happy with who I am.

Though I may fail a test, I'm still smart.

Though I may rewatch FRIENDS, it never gets old.

Though I may cry easily, it's only because I care.

Though I may have a lot of thoughts and feelings, I can always write them down.

Though my life may get tough, I can always enjoy nature.

Though I may think I have problems, mine mean nothing in the big scheme of things.

Though I may make a mistake, I'm only human.

Though I may rewatch, reread, and replay tv shows, movies, books, and video games, I always learn new things from them.

Though it may seem tough right now, I have my whole life ahead of me.

So, everytime you think of one bad thing, don't put yourself down. Think of the counter to your point. Think of another thing you know you are instead of what you may be.

Because though you may think you're not good enough, there are other people that think the opposite.

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.
