Stan Lee, Thank You

"The only advice anybody can give is, if you wanna be a writer, keep writing. And read all you can, read everything."

Stan Lee, Thank You

Stan Lee was a legendary entertainer.

Stan did many things in the entertainment industry, but he was simply an entertainer.

This article isn't going to be an obituary or a biography, or anything like that.

This is quite simply a thank you.

A thank you to a man that used his gifts to inspire so many people for decades. Stan Lee's stories inspired generations of writers, and many of those writers have gone on to inspire generations of writers.

More importantly, his characters inspired people.

Spider-Man has inspired people to be themselves and taught us that anyone can be a hero. Through Spider-Man, Lee taught us that "With great power, there must also come–great responsibility!"

Through the Fantastic Four, Stan Lee taught us about family. Both the family we have through blood and the family we make along the way.

I could go on and on about the lessons learned from all the characters he created, and how they inspired us, but we would be here all day.

The fact of the matter is, Stan Lee taught us what it means to be a hero.

Heroes aren't people with powers. They are people who try their best to do what is right. Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, but one thing they all have in common is the desire to do what is right in their heart.

We are all different, but we can all be heroes. In fact, the things that make us different, make us special, and the things that make us special, make us super.

Was he a perfect human being? Of course not, but none of us are perfect.

What he was, however, was a man who used his creative genius to inspire people.

Since 1941, Lee proved why the pen is mightier than the sword.

Lee used his pen the change lives. Heck, he used his pen to save lives. His characters, his words, and his heart have made an immeasurable difference in the world today.

Stan may be gone, but the lessons he helped teach us will last forever. Lee didn't just teach us what it meant to be a hero, he taught us what it meant to be human.

Thank you for everything that you did for the world, Stan Lee. You will be missed. Rest in Peace.

And lastly,

Excelsior!

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.
