11 Oddly Comforting Things

I've recently been thinking about what makes me happy. Just a few of my favorite things, if you will. So I've made a small list of them, making sure to leave out some of the weirder ones.

1. When Someone Plays With My Hair

It's like a scalp massage except with less direct touching. My mother used to do this to get me to sleep, but she would always stop right before I fell asleep so I'd have to make her continue. It was a bit of a struggle with her.

2. Hiding Under My Bed


It's like an extra level of protection. Like an open hug.

3. Walking Through A Pile Of Fallen Leaves

There's something just so pleasing about kicking your way through leaves. It's a nice reminder that it's autumn. Maybe it's associated with everything else that happens in the fall; it is my favorite season after all.

4. The Smell Of Rain

Don't tell me rain doesn't smell like anything. If someone says that, then they're lying.

5. Snow Sticking To My Nose

Sometimes I can feel snowflakes stick to my face, and it's oddly pleasing.

6. Making Other People Laugh

I know it sounds lame, but I love making people smile and laugh.

7. Snow Crunching Under My Feet

The feeling of snow compacting under you. The best. I love the feeling and the sound.

8. Sitting In Large Chairs

It's nice because I feel like a small child again. I like having my feet hanging off the end and being able to curl up in it.

9. The Wind Blowing My Hair Around

Yes, it's annoying, but it makes me smile.

10. Taking Off My Socks In Bed

Instant cool down. Plus I like feeling the change in texture.

11. Having People Read To Me

I might fall asleep, but I like listening to other's talk with no obligation to talk back.

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.
