The Key To Bettering One's Life

The light at the end of the tunnel.

The Key To Bettering One's Life
Savanna Stevie

Hope.

A word that goes beyond its meaning and something that lives inside every single person.

It helps the world go round and is the reason people continue to get up every morning.

We do not know what our future consists of, so God created hope.

There is no such thing as a perfect world. Things go wrong and fear can sometimes take over us.

There are times when all there is left to do is to put your trust in God and your hope in the universe.

Sometimes, the outcome we hope for does not go our way, but we continue to keep that hope.

Life has its ups and downs, and that is how it goes, but there is more to life than what we can see.

We were taught that faith, hope, and love are the keys to a good life.

It does not matter if one believes in God or not -- hope is something that everyone takes part in.

The world is a scary place where scary things can happen.

If one does not pray for a better world, then we know that they are hoping for one.

And the world does not have to be a scary place.

People, a lot of times, find themselves in a dark place and the only thing that keeps them going is that light at the end of the tunnel - hope.

The word itself gets thrown around a lot, but it all comes down to how optimistic we are about it.

You hear it said in songs and sometimes even meet people who share the name.

Before a big test, you hope for the best because that is all one can do at the time.

It is a state of mind in hopes of a positive outcome to occur.

We not only can hold hope for ourselves, but we can also give it to others as well.

It has become something that is said multiple times a day without even knowing it was said.

Hope has the ability to keep people on their toes and to live with an open mind.

Not many things can do that to a person and that is why hope is so powerful.

When people who care for one another come together, hope is strengthened because of their bond.

Along with hope, of course, faith and love are two very important things to have as well,

But, sometimes all we are left with is hope.

Hope helps us to envision our future and motivates us to take the steps to make it great.

At the end of the day, hope can provide us with the key to making life that much better.

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.
