It is within your reach

Photos and How They Got Here
Hanna Bewley

I glance around as the setting sun dims the afternoon light. The wind is blowing slightly.

Look at your feet. You are standing in the sky. When we think of the sky, we tend to look up, but the sky actually begins at the earth. ~Diane Ackerman

I really love this quote, and the fact that it explains this picture perfectly. I have never really thought about the sky in this way much before, but it is true. People tend to think of the vastness and greatness of the sky to be very beautiful, but far beyond our reach. It is something that is simply "out there," visible, but never accessible. But actually, we are all a part of this. We live in it, not below it. It is right in front of us. This can be compared to life. All the opportunities and chances are at our finger tips – we just have to take a risk and grab them. Everything that we have learned has come from some form of chance. Think of what we would miss if we thought that living and taking life into our hands and making something wonderful was just something "out there," something great to think about, but, again, "out there." But it is not. Sometimes people say that life is from "B" to "D" – from birth to death. But between "B" and "D" is "C" – and what is "C"? Chances. Choices. Good stuff like that.

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.
