You Are More

Even with the times get hard, know you are more.

You Are More

You are more. Three words. Ten letters. And yet still a big meaning behind it. Everyone is worth it. No matter how low things may be or even get. And it doesn't even matter what your past was, or the choices and mistakes you've made, YOU ARE MORE. Don't ever put yourself down and think you aren't worth it.

In 2010, Tenth Avenue North released the song "You are more" and I believe it has such a strong message behind it. It the right words that some people are struggling saying. I think the middle part of this song makes it because of what the words say.

You are more than the choices that you've made,
You are more than the sum of your past mistakes,
You are more than the problems you create,
You've been remade.

No matter the choices you've made, or the past mistakes and not even the problems that you create. You can be remade. This just gives me so much peace because knowing no matter what gets me down or the choices and mistakes I've made I can always be remade.

'Cause this is not about what you've done,
But what's been done for you.
This is not about where you've been,
But where your brokenness brings you to

Even with the things that happen to you, whether by you letting it happen, or people doing it to you. You can always be put back together, no matter how broken you are.

This is not about what you feel,
But what He felt to forgive you,
And what He felt to make you loved.

During the hard times, and the amount of emotions that get tossed around, God makes you feel that he indeed forgive you and he makes sure you feel loved. You are more. You are more than enough. God has this huge plan for all of us.

This song has just, such a beautiful meaning behind it. It constantly reminds us that YOU. ARE. MORE. Tenth Avenue North writes this song so nicely with such a powerful meaning.

The Holiday's are rough when you get to a low point. People are really good at hiding emotion when it comes to people checking up on them. People most of the time say, "I'm fine" or "It's going to be okay" But in all honesty they often times don't want to express themselves and what they're going through. You just need to give them a constant reminder that they are more and they are worth it.

Whenever I get on Facebook or any social media and I see someone passed away due to suicide because of bullying or anything that is holding them back and they get to the breaking point of no longer being able to handle the pain and brokenness. My heart aches everything I see or even read something about it. I wish there was more I could do. But if we were to give them a constant reminder that YOU ARE MORE they'll know they can trust you and we can help them through the hard times.

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.

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.
