Make your choice, because if you don't you already have.

To Choose or not to Choose

The world is not as it seems, the fabrication of society is merely a construct that is designed in order to achieve a certain goal in the functioning and normalization of human interaction. This means, more simply, that society is designed with something in mind.

Society is designed around an idea which comes from society itself, how society thinks it should be. Visions of perfection exist in a myriad of ways, visions from the media, products, and advertisements that want to be a certain way.

The very existence of labels is in fact foolishly misunderstood. Biological sex is a physical thing that can be determined. People argue about the existence of genders. This is foolish because there must be infinitely many genders, because stereotypes and labels are merely crystallizations of reality. To define something that is unique in such a way that it promotes misunderstanding by coalescing the idea with ideas that are created to promote a beginning understanding is foolish.

This assertion derives that individuals must all be different people. People make choices based on their perceptions, and their memories are very much responsible for shaping these perceptions. But are choices based on our perceptions? Does free will even exist? What is existence? What is the essence of existence? Free will couldn’t exist without the context for it to exist in. What does this mean? That the very nature of free will corresponds to its existence, meaning that the nature and meaning of existence is created with existence itself.

This must mean that since the nature and essence of an individual is only created with their existence, that every individual must be unique. If this is the case, then their interpretations of existence, and things such as genders must be unique.

This applies to all things, and if we want to move forward in the world we must critically analyze what our own existence is. We must ask ourselves who we are, what we want from this world. This is the nullification of a majority of the world’s problems. Many people are sheep and do not ask, they fall to the whims of cruel people whose intentions are purely to strip others of their unique existences and force them into servitude to further their own corrupt intentions.

When people stand together against this, the world will change greatly. People speak of great weapons and they fight wars which are merely distractions from reality. The true war is that of understanding, for it is the panacea for a world that is poisoned with ignorance. Recently many people did not vote in the election with excuses along the lines of: if I have to pick between two evils, I would rather not pick at all.

This is the case in the war against ignorance. The sides are ignorance and understanding, and if you choose not to choose to fight for a side, you are willfully supporting the side of ignorance. The side of ignorance is inherently against the uniqueness and true worth of the individual. So you have to ask yourself, which side will you fight for? Fighting is not a choice, because to exist is to fight.

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.

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.
