To the girls who always compare to others

You are unique.

To the girls who struggles to get by day after day. To the girls who avoids mirrors that tell her she's not good enough, beautiful enough, or likable. To the girls who is constantly comparing herself to others in a destructive but almost automatic cycle.I know now it's hard to accept yourself wholeheartedly inside but I want you to know that you are loved. I want you to know that there is someone who thinks the world of you, who admires you, and who cares about you deeply.

It's hard when we live in a generation of likes, retweets, reposts, and comments being the determination of our value and beauty. To not give into the mindset of others determining your worth and acceptance by their standards that are an artificially modified thought of the definition of something being 'good' created by unrealistic expectations of perfection. It's hard.

I am someone who struggles with this on the daily. So I am writing this to tell you that you are understood. I understand what it feels like to not want to get out of bed because you wonder the point in that. You don't want to face people today because you feel too ashamed. To have that constant thought in your mind of what people may be saying about you, judging you, but in reality we are being our own worst bully.

Here is a few things that I hope you get out of reading this. Each person is created into a beautiful unique soul, given a heart to feel, and a mind to help the world.

You are special.

You bring something unique to this world, whether it's through your heart, your values, or your mind. You will always shine because you will always have a light inside of you.

You are smart.

You have more knowledge that you give yourself credit for. You can get those straight A's, all you have to do is put your mind to it. Why do I say that? Because YOU ARE SMART, and don't let any comparisons or person tell you otherwise. We are

You are liked.

You might have those racing thoughts of others about you...BUT your friends love being around you and think the world of you! You have to remember to not assume others thoughts.

You are caring.

You have a huge heart for others, and others see that! It's time for you to start to as well! You put others' needs before your own, and it comes from the goodness of your heart; never lose that quality. I promise, when I say that I know first hand. One of the best feelings in the world is when someone tells you how great you are and don't change for anything.

You are worthy of happiness.

You deserve to be happy, because you're an amazing person with great qualities all around. You always put others' happiness in front of your own, but today that needs to change. It's important that others are happy, but it's important to make sure you are happy too. Never let anyone determine your happiness; only you at the end of the day have that control.

You are capable.

You can do anything you put your mind to because you have the determination and the heart it takes to make your dreams become a reality.

You are fun.

You're a blast!!! Don't let yourself think otherwise! Your personality is one in a million!

You are loved.

You are in the hearts of so many, and it's because they see the beauty that lives inside of you. For others, it's hard to not see the goodness and sincerity you radiate, and that's why they care about you so much. You're never alone; reach out to the people you are the closest to because they know the real you and the beauty you hold.

You are Beautiful.

You are fearlessly and wonderfully made. You are stunning, and every unqiue thing about you shines from the inside out!

You are, right now, at this moment, the best thing you could ever be in this world, and that is, you.You are worthy of so much more than you think you are. I know every day is a constant battle to be confident and outgoing, but I want you to try, try everyday to work on that goal of self love. Because you know what? You are everything listed above and more: you are amazing. Never doubt yourself.

You are you and don't let anyone ever change that! Now go out there and show off who you are! I know I will be as well!

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.
