Why I'm Backing the Blue

Blue Lives Matter

Blue lives matter.

That's it. End of story.

It doesn't matter how old you are, the color of your skin, or even where you come from. What matters is that they took an oath to protect us at any and all cost and that takes guts, especially in today's messed up world. People fighting against them, this is not easy to deal with. Especially when death could be an end result on either side. I'm sure many of them pray to be able to make it home to their families after every shift.

I'm not saying every cop is good either, so don't take it that way. There good and bad cops just like there is good and bad in the world. There will always be darkness but there will always be light too. You cannot group them together just because there are some bad ones in the mix. I can guarantee you don't like being grouped together in any way for one persons actions. You know why? Because one person shouldn't represent everyone else.

So if you are against blue lives matter and backing the GOOD cops there are remember that you are next time you dial 911. Because if you don't support them why should they help you? Oh that's right, they will because it is their jobto protect you and anyone else who is in need of assistance. They will do anything they can to save and help you or anyone you know. They are trained to do what they think is right in that moment. What they do requires quick thinking, none of it is easy.

So please back the blue because they will back you.

I am not suddenly writing this for Officer Justin Martin and Sargent Anthony Beminio, although that did hit close to home, I am writing this for them all. Every single police officer who has been slain for nothing, just out of pure hate. Their lives mattered.

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.
