30 personal reasons why I am extremely disappointed in the 2016 election results, moreover, 30 reasons why I didn't vote or support Donald Trump:

1. Because I am a woman

2. Because I have fear in my heart that Donald has no sense of morality

3. Because my parents are immigrants

4. Because I consider myself to be a woman of color

5. Because I don't support men "grabbing women by the pussy"

6. Because making fun of disable people is actually so f***ed up

7. Because I support people who identify as LGBTQA

8. Because I believe in equality

9. Because this country was founded on freedom of religion

10. Because I have self-respect

11. Because I recognize a "good" party platform holds no merit without morals

12. Because I would not feel safe in a room with Donald Trump

13. Because I wouldn't want my future daughters to think he is a leader

14. Because conversations about sexual assault being chalked up as "locker room talk" is rape culture

15. Because he constantly lies

16. Because I believe deep in my heart that he is not an inherently kind person

17. Because being accused of sexual assault by 12+ women is terrifying

18. Because the language he uses is vulgar and inappropriate as a politician

19. Because global warming is not a hoax invented by China

20. Because "Making our country Great again" insinuates that the US is shitty now, and I don't agree with that

21. Because I support the Pro-choice movement

22. Because he has gone bankrupt multiple times but claims to be an amazing business man

23. Because he treats minorites like lesser human beings

24. Because his running mate is Mike Pence

26. Because he has failed to respond to the serious questions our nation actually poses

27. Because I believe in the phrase "Live and let live"

28. Because Islamaphobia is complete crap and not all Muslims are terrorists

29. Because where is the love?

30. Because I believe that America is better than this, and that we deserve to elect a president who is worthy of the position

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.

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.
