Why Ariana Grande Is Amazing

I wish I had met this pop star when I was a lost eleven year old with three giant holes in my heart.

Why Ariana Grande Is Amazing

When someone thinks about death, it is quite inconsolable. When someone experiences a death in their life, the trauma can leave some quite numb.

Numbness is the preferred method of madness because when someone feels that the person has left them, it is insanity. I for one believe that madness is not to be experienced while grieving because there is only one conclusion and some are not okay with it.

In my own life, death struck my family three times, all at once. Now, I cannot speak on behalf of my family and how they grieved, but, let me just say...there is nothing quite like the reoccurring pain of feeling their death. Believe it or not, No it does not ever go away. I can be living, breathing, simply existing, and it hits like a wrecking ball through a concrete wall. In that reference, which one is stronger? The wrecking ball. And, I, the wall crumble down quick and fast.

Now that their has been an introduction to my own background, let us focus on the lovely Ariana Grande, as she is what inspired today's post.

Recently, some troll decided to provide their unwanted opinion of Ariana's tributes to the late Mac Miller. The troll stated Ariana was "milking" her once beloved's death. WHOA, okay, WHOA. THAT IS NOT OKAY. Not only has Ariana had one hell of a year, but, what we're not gonna do is tell this strong woman that she is taking advantage of this situation. No one has any right to tell someone how to grieve or when to move on.

As a fan base or simply an audience to Ariana Grande, we need to take the backseat for this journey she is on. No one can possibly know how this wonderful woman can still stand so strong after the death of Mac Miller. And if people would stop giving their two cents on how they want Ariana to live her life, maybe those trolls could actually try to be happy in their (obviously) miserable lives.

If Ariana Grande entered my life thirteen years ago, maybe the death of my family members would not continuously feel like I am regurgitating the pain that attacked my family. It is a difficult task that comes in bulk or in moments, but as we can see, life goes on. Some days life is beautiful and I am thankful to be alive. Other days, all I can do is focus on trying to breathe through the anxiety and that's okay. This is my small tribute to my family that passed and my appreciation for the strength Ariana Grande portrays for all of us to see.

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.
