What Exactly Is Magic?

Magic fills the heart and soul of those brave enough to believe

What Exactly Is Magic?

Twinkling lights shimmer through a world draped in darkness. Glimmers of gold gently dust the colorless pavement. Sparks of wonder dance through the navy sky, as the gold dust twirls ever so gracefully, filling in the empty air. Illuminating the unknown abyss, the dust holds something-- something special-- something magical.

Magic warms the heart and soul of those brave enough to believe. A wise man once said, “believing is just the beginning.” The young or young at heart become captivated by the curiosity that the gold dust possesses. The world of fantasy blurs its invitation from the distance.

Magic is a hard concept to grasp your head around. There are no words to describe it- other than enchantment, fantasizing this uncanny world we live in. It's fueled by pure acts of kindness, that cost less then that little copper coin. It comes from deep within the soul, in ways that take you from under the darkness. Magic leaves the crevices of your lips starching upward for so long that the muscles holding it there start to become numb.

Your heart flutters as your eyes widen. Magic submerges your veins, downing your body in pure joy as it takes over your mind. You’ll want to breath in every last possible drop of enchantment, if you’re lucky enough to stumble upon it. It disconnects you from the troubles of the world. With just a little faith and trust, little magic moments make life well worth living.

Those who believe in magic share one major similarity-- they believe in dreams. They wish on every star that one day, their dreams will come true. As they muddle through the world, the believers search for sparks of the gold dust. They look high and low, but it's sparse and fragile. When they finally face the dust, it leaves them vulnerable. Even if its scary or uncomfortable, valiant souls swallow their apprehension.

Believers have to let the magic in to truly immerse themselves into the powers of it. They dance through life with their loved ones by their side and drive away from negativity. Although we sometimes fall as we chase our dreams, we can only do one thing: hope that the delicate gold dust can sustain despite the odds.

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.

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.
