To New Beginnings: 2019

I'm not writing this because the new year is here and 2019 will be different, cause doesn't everyone say, "New Year, New Me?"

To New Beginnings: 2019

To New Beginnings because life isn't going to always be the same and because you're grown up. To new beginnings because why not? I'm turning 21 soon, and it'll be a new life. I'll truly be an adult and I'm talking about because I can drink. I'm saying to new beginnings because I will be able to get hotels now without the consent of an adult.

To new beginnings because it's time to live for myself. Here's what I've done for a New Beginning, and I mean why don't you try it too?

1. Actually making my bed every day

Now, I don't how long this going to last but, I've started making my bed every morning. There is nothing nicer than coming home to a clean bed. It leaves you satisfied.

2. Redecorating

Redecorating can make something old feel so new. I tend to always rearrange things every few months because I believe it's fun to come home to something new all the time. Now I don't go buy new things, all I do is take some things away, or I go make stuff myself. I've moved my bed possible five times in the eight months that I've lived in my apartment.

3. Drinking water

It's something small, but it does make a difference. You don't realize how unhealthy the stuff you drink or eat is until you start being healthy and you noticed how you change a month in. The effects won't be automatic, but in a month you will realize that your skin may be less dry, or you don't look so gloomy and you have loads of energy.

4. Get A fluffy buddy

There is nothing better than a best friend who is always by your side. I'm talking about a pet animal. They just make you happy. And they don't talk back! They just sit there and make you happy.

* * *

There is nothing more amazing than having the ability to end something and start something new. It is empowering and it allows you to do what you want to do. It's a new perspective on life. You take charge, you change things, and you do what you need or what to make your life the way it needs to 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.
