Why Change Is Good

People will change. You will change. The world around you is constantly changing. But it doesn't mean it's a bad thing. The sooner you accept this the happier you'll be.

Most people are scared of change. They fear the unknown of what the future holds. Or the hold on their current life is so tight that they break when something doesn't go as planned. God will never put you in a situation that you cannot handle. He will never move you to a different place without bringing joy and life.

Change is good. Change opens your eyes to bigger and better things that will come your way. Change makes you focus on what you really want in life. Change makes you see who is really important in your life. Change brings you to expand the horizon on what you can accomplish.

People change either to be in your life or to make room for others to be in it. When someone says you've changed, it's not a bad thing; it simply means you stopped living your life their way. Not everyone you meet is supposed to stay in your life and vice versa.

You change because you grow into the person you're supposed to be. If everyone stayed the same person they were in middle school, we would never be where we are today. God made you, and you are who you're supposed to be, so embrace it.

Everyone has had those "life-changing" moments when you finally come to terms with who you're supposed to be and where you're going. These moments aren't meant for failure. These moments are meant for greatness.

You may think that the change in your life isn't for the good, but God has a plan for you and your life. He will use you to heal and help others while using others to give you strength and life.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
