I hate pictures like this:

You're probably asking yourself why I hate these pictures. You might be saying to yourself, "It's so true! What doesn't she get about these?" I understand. I was asking myself those same questions not too long ago. But then I had a realization. I can't tell people what to do.

But that's not it, right? That's not the point of the picture, right? You just want people to do good and be well and be the best them they can be.

But what's so wrong with Kim Kardashian?

Honestly. Think about it. Kim Kardashian hasn't really done anything wrong. There's not really a reason that she ever became famous, sure. I guess. But people keep pushing her and her family into the limelight. Her siblings have their own lives and careers now. Her family is branching off and actually making names for themselves. Would I, personally, do what they're doing? No, because I can't. I don't have access to their world or their resources. But I'm also a completely different person with a completely different idea of what I want my life to be.

And that's okay. That's exactly what the world is supposed to be.

We are supposed to be different. We are supposed to be a mix of Kims and Audreys and Princess Dianas. Diversity is what makes us thrive as a society and as a community. We learn from each other. We support one another. But most importantly, we love one another. If we don't, where does that leave us?

Don't be afraid of being a Kim Kardashian. If that's who you want to be, go for it. If you want to be an Audrey Hepburn, be the best Audrey Hepburn you can be. Just don't let that get in the way of appreciating others for who they want to be.

I like to live by this motto, even if it is cliched: "Treat others the way you want to be treated."

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.
