No matter how big or small there will always be something that makes us insecure.

Insecurities Make You Weak

People say all the time that the insecurities you carry are a sign of weakness. I disagree with this statement completely. The insecurities we carry aren't weaknesses. They are a sign of strength and courage that people should embrace.

Insecurities have a wide range. People are insecure about so many different things. For example, some people are insecure about how they dress, or how they look. I've even met people who are insecure in the way they eat food or the way they laugh. With the world becoming so superficial people have lost their ability to embrace their insecurities. Maybe it is due to the fact that social media has made it seem as if people shouldn't have any insecurities and live this "instagrammy life". The problem with this is that we as humans aren't perfect. We all have flaws. As rude as that sounds you and me both have many flaws. Noone is perfect. We are all trying to be as perfect as possible, but it doesn't mean that we have become successful in being completely perfect.

So this is for anyone who needs to hear this. Your insecurities don't define you. No matter what insecurities you have you should embrace them and love yourself regardless. Be less harsh on yourself and enjoy the one life we have to live. Let me repeat again. Be less harsh on yourself and enjoy the one life we have to live.

Trust me, you may think you are not beautiful, or you smile weird, or your feet are too big whatever the insecurity is just remember these insecurities are a way for yourself to compete with no one else but yourself. However, just remember these insecurities mean nothing.

Be yourself. Love yourself. Treat yourself.

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.
