Where's your escape?
4 Things To Do Before You Start Writing

I have always loved writing. Sometimes its just the escape it gives me, other times it's the creativity involved. But mostly, it's the new and the untold that creates a story you want to live. I want to be a screenwriter because it allows stories to come to life on the silver screen, making it all the more real. Just like when you watch Harry Potter or The Hunger Games, you can almost feel as though you've entered a new dimension, a new world. Somewhere that allows you to be anyone you want, with new talents, family, and love. We are given so many opportunities to disappear into a new universe. I want to create one of those new galaxies. I want readers to jump in with their eyes closed, knowing they'll love it. I want to give everyone an escape from their lives. I want your eyes to search each page with wonder and happiness and comfort. I need an audience to share my voice with, my scratchy, hoarse voice. I have a favorite book that does this everytime I need a break. Written by my favorite author, The Great Gatsby is by far the best book I have ever read. F. Scott Fitzgerald's style of writing is so different but so beautiful. It uses descriptive words along with very simple meanings, it is the best writing I have ever read and will likely ever read. It pulls me into the roaring '20s and raging parties during the prohibition. I escape to West Egg every few weeks. Just like my favorite novel, I want to make an amazing story that saves someone just like The Great Gatsby saved me. And one day, I will do it.

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.
