Liberty And Justice For All

We need to be united as a country now more than ever before.

Tuesday night, or should I say Wednesday morning’s results were nothing less than shocking. Throughout the entire campaign, never did I think that this would be the outcome. Take a deep breath, hug your neighbor, and try to stay calm the best you possibly can. As much as people would like to say otherwise, the majority of President-elect supporters were influenced by his portrayal in the media. Whether that be by a funny meme or a misinterpreted article, at least half of his supporters were swayed by these messages.

There is nothing more we can do to change the outcome. I know many of us are scared and worried about our rights being taken away, I am with you. Although, we have to have at least a shred of hope that it will not be as bad as we think. We as a nation need to come together and hope that he treats us right. Hope that no one here gets hurt by any of his or his vice president's policies.

Stand up and let your voice be heard. Let the world know how you feel. Unfortunate for some, this will be our lives for the next four years and we need to come to understand and accept this. Have faith in Obama that he will help Trump in becoming our next leader. Have faith that Melania will be a role model to all the little girls out there. Most especially, have faith that this country will grow strong.

As I do agree that love trumps hate, protesting about it will do nothing more than start more fights. Trump has done many hateful things, the media made sure to yell it to world. These things he has done deserves to be heard. This is part of the reason why Hillary Clinton actually won the popular vote. The people elected Clinton, but the system elected Trump. People need to understand what we are dealing with so we can proceed with caution. Thankfully, Trump has begun to repeal a few of his policies he promised during his campaign. Hopefully, he will start handling his job will less hatred and more poise, like President Obama did.

Do I support Trump's views and policies? No. Do I support his vice president's views and policies? No. But the one thing I will do it hope that he becomes the man that the system elected him to be. All we can do now is hope that he will calm down, and become a more friendly face like Obama has to the rest of the country. Stay strong, friends.

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.
