To be honest life is hard and sometimes it’s full of crap, but this shouldn’t keep you from living your life the best you can. Now everyone’s life is different, and no one can tell you how to live it, or make how to make it your best, but there are a few things that make life better. Life is made up of a number of little moments. It’s never too late to make them count.

1. Love

There is so much to love in this life, and there is so much to gain love from. Love those who who don’t know how, and those who love like there’s no tomorrow. Love deeply.

2. Have fun

Enjoy every little moment you are given. Enjoy the movie, go bowling, run in a field of daisies. Just have fun. Whatever that may be. Do it.

3. Be with family

Family is one of the single best things we are given in life. Yes family can be crazy and hectic, but I promise they will always be there. I have many families, and I know I can count on all of them.

4. Make friends

Without friends who knows where we would be. Friends keep us sane, and let of have a little fun along the way.

5. Eat good food

Everyone knows we all need food to live so why not make it good food. Something so simple can have so much impact. Good food makes you happy, and happiness is the end goal.

6. Be kind

There is already too much hate in this world. Show kindness, and be different. Be what you wish to see.

7. Travel

Go see the world. You can go see your closest park, or go to the other side of the planet. Just go see. Don’t stay exactly where you are. Move, and see.

8. Rest

To be honest naps are a great gift. Rest yourself. Don’t do so much that you can’t enjoy it. Sleep, relax with a good book, drink hot cocoa and watch a movie. Just take a moment to breathe.

9. Learn

There is so much to learn. Don’t just be happy with what you know. Challenge yourself. Learn how others see the world so that you can appreciate it more.

10. Step out of your comfort zone

This is hard. We all like to stay nice and comfy, but let’s be honest. Some of the best things happen outside of the comfort zone. Try not to retreat to what you know, but to instead walk out into something a little different.

Live your best life for you. There is no way to know for sure how things will turn out, but we can always try to make them better. While making this life the best it can be for yourself, you can help make it the best it can be for others as well.

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.
