This is to our future America

An Open Letter to Donald Trump
The Atlantic

Mr. Trump,

First of all I would like to start off with congratulations on winning the presidential election. I was stunned on your victory, and I myself was not one who voted for you, but nonetheless, congratulations. You have a great responsibility on your hands now, and I wish you all the best these next four years. You say you want to make America great again, and now you have endless opportunities to do so.

I myself, and many other Americans, were not exactly huge fans of yours, and that's just our opinion, but there were also many who believed in what you stand for and believe that you will do great things. I personally did not support you because I do not have the same values as you. I do not agree with what you stand for, and I do not agree with who you are as a person. Although I do not know you personally, how you acted at the debates, how I see you in the media, your hateful tweets, and discrimination really turned me off.

The media portrayed you as racist, homophobic, hateful, and sexist. I pray that this is not who you really are, I pray that the videos of you degrading women and promoting rape culture and discrimination are not what you believe in. Please be the man I saw in your victory speech who said he would be a president for ALL Americans. Be a President for the people, not against them. Promote love, not hate. I sincerely hope that the media portrayed you wrongly, and that your supporters really saw something great that I must have missed.

Prove to all the people who doubt you, and all the people who support you, that you will lead with grace. Prove to us that you won’t let America go up in flames. Prove to us that you are fit for this job. Prove to us that you know what you are doing. Prove to us that ALL Americans are welcome in the United States, and that hate will not be the heart of your presidency. Prove to us that "We The People" have a say in the affairs of this great country. Prove to us that you can be a great president.

Sincerely,

The Future of America

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.

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.
