Now I know normal does not exist.

I Used To Wish My Life Was Normal

Way back when I used to think if I could just live a normal life, I'd have it made. Normal life, job, parents, the works. I used to think that normal meant easy. Normal lives is what I thought everyone else had. I looked around and everyone around me appeared to have a normal life, and that is what I wanted. Yet, I had to step out of my little bubble to realize I was wrong. Like, really wrong.

Normal is so unheard of nowadays... And if you think you have a normal life, you should probably reconsider your definition of normal. People have problems, some more than others, but problems are problems. Our president has problems, obvious ones, but that's besides the point. The world obviously has some major problems. If normal even existed anymore, it would be nothing. Normality should not even be considered a thing. If my life was normal, it would consist of doing the same things over repeatedly every single day, with no interactions with the outside world because it's definitely not normal as it is today/ See what I'm saying? It is impossible, but it is also a life that I do not want to live.

Now, I'm glad my life is not normal. I'm glad I always have a little bit of of craziness thrown into my life to somehow make it the perfect concoction of chaotic. It makes it my life. If I honestly had a normal day, I might go insane. I wouldn't know what to do with myself. So next time you think man I wish my life is normal, just know it doesn't exist. Having a normal life means having no life at all.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
