When in Doubt, Book a Flight

You're not getting any younger or any less busy so why not just go?

When in Doubt, Book a Flight

This day and age, it seems like we're growing up faster, becoming more independent sooner (or so we might think). It seems like life keeps throwing us projects and taking away the hours in a day. In a fast paced world, it's not hard to realize that sometimes all you need is a break.

I'm sure we've all made an imaginary bucket list, that holds a permanent place in our minds, detailing all the places we'd love to see. So, why not pick one? You're not getting any younger or any less busy so why not just go?

Take a friend, maybe it's someone you'd like to get closer with or maybe it's someone you know like that back of your hand. Regardless of who you take with you, just go!

If you haven't noticed by now, there isn't any time left for feeling sorry for yourself. If you're uncertain about something and can't seem to shake that feeling, have you ever thought that maybe getting out of the environment you're in 24/7 might help?

Allow the whole process of the trip to push you out of the funk and into a state of awe. A state where you can't believe the world is really this beautiful. Take a ton of pictures from your plane window. Hold a conversation with your Uber driver. Thank the maids who make your hotel bed every morning. Eat like a local. Eat like a tourist.

Uprooting yourself- even if only for a week- allows you to throw out that uncertainty so that you have more room in your mind and heart to soak up all the new adventures awaiting your arrival. You deserve some fun, so what are you waiting for? Do one thing everyday that scares you, right?

Whatever you do and wherever you go, do it passionately. When in doubt, book a flight.

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.
