Dear Humans, You Are Not The Only Ones On This Planet

Dear Humans,

I wasn't aware that I had to remind you, but it has come to my attention that you've forgotten there are other creatures, on what this could once be called, beautiful planet. You call yourselves the top of the food chain, yet, you're not smart enough to realize you're destroying not only your home, but ours as well. You have the resources to fix this, but refuse to change.

Why I ask? Are we not worth saving? Do you really not care about future generations? Or are you just that close-minded and selfish? According to National Geographic, before humans evolved, less than one species per million years went extinct annually, but now it's up to 1,000 because of you people.

You have destroyed our homes to build your own.

You have places dedicated to your waste, yet you still throw and litter it where we try to live.

You abuse us and lock us up in tiny cages, labs, and circuses for your own amusement.

You test us with no mind to our well being, only caring about yours. There are other options that include not harming us, but you're too lazy to look or support those products and choose to buy from the big corporate brands that torture us on the daily.

Some of you even claim to love creatures like us, but still buy from big stores that get their animals from places that over bread their pets and have no care if it ends up killing or seriously harming the animal ( e.g. places like puppy mills).

The sad part is, you still rely on us for food, entertainment, help, and scientific purposes, but choose to treat us like the scum under your feet. We're not even treated like second- or even third-class citizens, no, were just props and objects in your eyes. If we had the option, we'd take a stand and refuse to aid you anymore, but we don't even have that choice. If we refuse, we're forced or even harmed or killed. We have no voice in what once to be our world.

Now, you've taken over and we have no option, but to just watch and see the ruins under your control. So we beg, from all the other creatures on this planet, please make a change humans. We're relying on you now.

Yours truly,

the other creatures on this planet

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.
