Dear Anxiety,

You cut me into pieces and as much as I hate to pretend that you don’t exist and that you're all in my head, you will always be there. So, please go away. I am begging you; I can’t deal with you anymore.

I am constantly troubled when you appear and my focus falls apart. I get worried, and I don’t know how to deal with things. I start to panic because I’m stressed and afraid. The attack, it starts with gasps for air, the feeling when everything is falling apart and drowning.

I’m fighting against waves of tears, but it’s dragging me down. Everything begins to fade and I am suffering in silence. Silent sobs because I can’t bother those around me.

I want to talk, to socialize but, because of you: I want to be alone and to forget the world existed. There are times when I can’t breathe because of you, anxiety. So, hear my pleas and just go away because enough is enough and you are too much to handle.

As you come and go when you please, I am in misery. There are times when I want to sit in bed all day. Moments, where I feel like the world’s heavyweight is on my shoulders.

I fear that one day I will crumble. One day, you will consume me and I won’t know who I am. There are days, where you create waves over me. I am slowly draining my energy fighting. I am tired of fighting and having the courage to get through every day. I promise you, that I’m going to win this battle.

I will try to fight with whatever power I have left. For now, please let me go so I can be free. Please break the chains that tie me down. Let me swim up for air instead of drowning. I am trying.

Sincerely,

Ambi

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.
