You Are More

Let the world change before you conform.

You Are More
Thought Catalog

In a society where the newest social norm has become to belittle others for their beliefs, looks, or even the way the outfits they wear; I have found it important to remind others that you are more

You are more than that final grade you made.

You are more than that boy who broke your heart.

You are more than that number on the scale.

You are more than the words that your "best friend" said behind your back.

You are more than that subtweet on Twitter, or the likes you get on Instagram.

You are more than that mistake you made last year, last month, or even yesterday.

You are more than the price tag on your clothes.

You are more than the makeup you put each morning because you think you look bad without it.

You are more than the thoughts that consume your mind.

You are more than that drunken snapchat you sent to that guy in hopes he would notice you.

You are more than what the world tells you to believe about yourself.

You are more than your daily struggles.

You are more than just beautiful.

You are more than just funny.

You are more than your title at your work place.

You are than a friend, sister, brother, wife, husband, or cousin.

You are so much more.

You are worth so much more than you believe. As the new Alessia Cara song states, "And you don't have to change a thing The word could change its heart." Let the world change the way it views other before you begin to conform to the world. The world is always going to judge you. People are always going to say things, and criticize you. But please remember you are worth so much more than you believe. You are more.

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.
