Your smile and laughter is what will take you the farthest in life, but just know it helped me the most to remember what life is about, which is happiness.

To The Person Who Stayed

In life you meet many different people. Some are there to make you laugh, some are to keep you in a positive direction, some teach you life lessons and some are what truly make you a better person. You were not just one of those things but all in one. When I didn't even love myself you loved me. When I would lay around for weeks miserable with life you didn't leave me thinking I was alone, you were always there, always a call away. Trying to rebuild my life after losing myself was without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever done and I know I would have never been able to do it without you.

Thanks for never lying to me. Even though I was fragile you always told me what I needed to hear even when it hurt. When I was acting crazy you were the first to tell me to calm down and take 5. If you weren't there I couldn't even imagine some of the things I would have said/done without you bringing me back to earth and look at the situation in a new perspective.

Thanks for not leaving me. Going through depression and finding yourself is something that is truly the hardest thing to explain. I didn't love myself, in fact I hated myself, but you still stayed. I knew I could count on a weekly catch up and it always made me feel so blessed to know you were still there. I pushed away everyone but you didn't let me do that with you. You saw past my attitude & stuck around to help me rebuild when no one was there.

Thanks for always being there when I need an adventure. From willingly getting in my car and going on long drives even though you hate my driving thank you. For going along with all my crazy ideas and making everything we do, even if it is shopping at marshals a huge fun game where no matter what we both end up laughing so hard we cause a scene because getting pillows shouldn't be that much fun.

Thanks for supporting every one of my crazy ideas. From switching my major daily, to always wanting to try something new, thanks for tagging along when I try and pursue a different career each week.Thank you for never judging how passionate I get about absolutely everything in life and getting just as excited as I do.

You loved me when I was unlovable. You saw past what most people ran away from and to be honest you gave me hope that I could start again. Your positivity for life is what everyone gets from you but to me especially, you gave me the light I needed. You took me out of my comfort zone and face life head on. Thanks for listening to my rants even when you knew I was wrong for what I was doing, thanks for knowing just when the perfect time to joke about it is. Thanks for never judging my passion for the way I live life and do every task, thanks for getting just as excited as me to go on stupid errands. Thanks for making me feel worth fixing and always being there to remind me that, and then go right back to the tough love kinda friend you are. Your smile and laughter is what will take you the farthest in life, but just know it helped me the most to remember what life is about, which is happiness.

Love you always Danal

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.
