2017 -- Love Above Hate

1 Peter 4:8: "Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love covers a multitude of sins."

2017 -- Love Above Hate
Time Dot Com

I've tried to stay out of the political world for as long as I possibly could, even though politics are my secret guilty pleasure. With that being said, I'm basically done at this point. There really is nothing more that I can say, but I'm going to try to explain my point of view regarding events that have happened the past couple of days in a peaceful, loving way.

Let me preface all of this with the fact that I did NOT vote for Donald Trump. I would never be that horrible of a person. I planned on putting a shameless plug for Jill Stein here, but I didn't come up with anything catchy. I probably could have found a good meme online, but Jill Stein is the woman.

Living in 2017, it's almost a sin not to be a feminist, which I don't know how I feel about that exactly, but that's a topic for another article. That's not to say that I'm not a feminist because I'm a pretty flaming feminist in regards to women's rights. But...

Before we all condemn Trump to the horrible he is sure to ensue, let's give him the chance to cause it before we protest. When he takes away rights for women, I will be one of the first people to stand up against him, but I don't want to hope for his disasters. I hope and pray that he will turn out to be a much better president than anything of us expect, which I know is very, very low chance.

Before we all rip each other's throats out, even in a calm protesting way, let's consider love above all.

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.
