I Am A Writer...

You've got this world trapped in your mind that you feel the need to share with the rest of the world.

I have to remind myself that writing doesn't always come to people the way it does for me. I have to remind myself that writing is a skill set a lot of people lack and realize the value in such a talent. From one perspective you just see someone sitting down in a chair or laying down scribbling words down or typing hastily or not so hastily, nonetheless, you see these simple actions. You would assume it doesn't take much effort. However, it does. You see these simple gestures going on outside this person. However, that is just the beginning.

When you're a writer, journalist, blogger, whatever you are, you are more than just a person with words on a laptop or paper you made up. You are those words. You are those stories and blogs you create. You may be a person sitting in a chair or laying down on a bed but your mind is not really there is it? The people around you see this physical form of you but you're not really there, your mind is wherever your writing is. You're in a forest, a city an abandoned house, you're where your writing is. You're anything you want or whatever you want when you're a writer, your story never ends.


The life of a writer is a lot different than the life of an ordinary person. You're constantly writing something in your head, watching ending after ending go down in your mind. Everything you do you, not necessarily overthink, but you break it down and make it into many different possible endings. The life of a writer holds a lot of responsibility. You've got this world trapped in your mind that you feel the need to share with the rest of the world.


Writing for me gives me the chance to leave all the things going on in my life and enter a world that I have control over because that's the thing most people hate about life is the lack of control and when you're a writer you hold the pen, you hold the ability to create and end and start over. That's the most exciting thing about writing is your ability to control the people and events going on to make your characters stronger or give them a lesson. Writing is a beautiful thing and to express one's feelings and even others around you is a wonderful thing that should be appreciated 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.
