Don't let it get to you.

The glass is never half empty; always see it as half full.

Laugh as much as you can.

The only approval you need is self-approval.

Be brave, and take a chance.

If you love them, tell them.

If you don't, don't pretend you do.

Don't lie to the people you care about.

Don't lie to strangers.

Don't lie to yourself.

If you want it, work for it.

Treat others the way you want to be treated, not how they treat you.

If your friend calls you at 4 AM because their heart is empty but their mind is full, answer it.

Nothing is ever as bad as it seems.

Give second chances, but never a third.

Always remember someone loves you.

Every decision you make doesn't just affect you.

Be kind.

If someone has a face that seems unfriendly, give them a smile and you'll see that their "unapproachable" physical appearance does not represent the kindness they hold in their heart.

If it does not concern you, don't let it bother you.

You are allowed to be sad if the world isn't going your way for a bit.

It gets better.

Don't try to fix what isn't broken.

Don't let someone go without saying a word, because I promise you, the pain of not knowing what they did wrong will haunt them forever.

Image is not everything, not even close.

Time is the best healing method, not drinking until the last drop slips down your throat.

If someone is meant to be in your life then life will put them there.

But if you think life made a mistake, go after them.

Live like you're running out of time, because you are.

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.
