For When You Don't Believe You Can Go On Any longer

You have to realize that every single moment up to this one- you have overcome. Every terrifying moment in which you questioned whether or not you could continue surviving- you have made it through every last one. You have to realize that you do not give yourself enough credit. You don't believe in the worthiness of yourself enough. You don't believe in yourself enough.

It's so hard but sometimes in life you have to pick yourself up. You have to be real with yourself. When you need help, you have to ask the people around you for help because I guarantee they will be more than happy to help if it means keeping you going another day, and another one, and another. You have to realize you are loved. The people around you love you and they want you here.

You have purpose. Even on your worst days, you are a beautiful soul of sunshine and light and all things good and worthwhile. Life gets hard. Life gets stressful. Sometimes, each of us feels a deep pitter-patter in our hearts, causing contemplation as to whether or not we actually have enough strength left as to go on. You have that strength. It's buried so deep in your heart that sometimes it is difficult to even see it. Find a flashlight and look, deep down where you have never soul-searched before. It's so difficult to turn the flashlight's switch on sometimes... You are so out of energy and you are so tired, fatigued, and exhausted. You don't think you have any more energy to give. You just want to give up and give in, throw the towel in and say, "I'm beat. I'm done." But-these are the moments where life is testing you.

You can't lose hope. Hope is the only thing that is stronger than anything else in life- fear, anxiety, anger, worry, stress. Hope is what is going to allow you to dig yourself out of the most difficult situations.

Life is worth living. You are worth it. Please, please don't give in to the pressures and anxieties and stresses of life. Life is worth it. you are worth it, you have purpose, and you have enough strength to continue on even in the toughest of times. Just know, you are loved, even when you are at your worst and believe nothing will ever get better,

Life will get better. It is at the deepest, darkest moments of our lives that we discover ourselves for who we truly are. Nothing worth having in life comes easy. You have to fight even when you don't think you can get on any longer.

I believe in you. But it is you who must believe in yourself.

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.
