Sometimes we find that it's not so easy to find the positive things in life. Something bad happens, and that's literally all we can think about. It's perfectly fine to be negative sometimes because it's just natural in a difficult situation. Our emotions get altered. That bad situation that happened can cause stress, anger, pain, anxiety, etc. But from what I've learned, you also do need to stay positive in difficult situations.

If you let the negativity take over your thoughts and actions, you can find that it's hard to get back to that. We need more positivity in the world. We can't let the negativity win. If we surrender to all the bad things in life and focus on the negatives, we are defeated. And that's not what we should be doing in life. We're not going to stay defeated, we want to be winners. We want to be happy. So why does negativity still linger whenever something bad happens? Why can't we just stay positive?

It's not that easy. For me personally, I strive to look for the positives in a difficult situation so I don't let the negativity take over. We shouldn't quit and throw in the towel and let the negativity take over. We need to give positivity that extra boost.

It's hard, but not impossible and we should all strive to be more positive in life and ignore the negativity. Be the first to spread the positivity when something goes wrong. Remind yourself that everything happens for a reason, even if you don't know that reason. Remind yourself that it's just a small set back and keep on going, it will get better. Even if you are the only one who stays positive, that's just one step closer to making this world a little more positive, despite the tragedy that happens.Go out there and spread that happiness!

Stay Positive, Friends! It does in fact get better!

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.
