'Uptown Girls' Taught Me To Live My Life For Myself

Do you remember when you were a child and you had all sorts of dreams? Do you look back and think to yourself and realize some of those dreams are crazy? Like the old sang goes there is no such thing as a stupid question, well there's no such thing as a stupid dream.

Sometimes life needs to get crazy and chaotic for us to find our path. The movie 'Uptown Girls' teaches us this great moral lesson between two different people. This movie is a classic between two different characters. The characters Molly and Ray are at different stages in their life. Opposites I would say. The eight-year-old Ray acts like a sophisticated adult, while the twenty-two-year-old Molly acts like an eight-year-old. Along the way Ray finally budges and learns that she needs to break free and not to be so uptight.

No matter how different our paths are in life we can find friendship and we can build each other up.

To be successful in life does not mean having money and being rich. Being successful is reaching our dreams, big or small. In the words of Rachel Hollis other people's opinions don't matter. Live your life you don't have to have other people's permission to live out your life. We live in fear and thinking that we need permission to live out our dreams. The truth is we don't. We will learn that the people that stick by us will support us and the ones who don't will slowly drift away. We need more people in our life that encourage us and keeps our motivation going.

That is what this movie teaches us. It teaches us that we may want a lot of things in life like money and love, but we need to work on ourselves first.

Everything starts with a dream.

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.
