Dear America: Part III

A final letter to the United States of America

Dear America,

I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the population of people who inhabit your land.

I am sorry for what we have put you through. We have taken your native people from you, only to take another race from their native land and bring them here to treat them like animals.

We don't take care of your children because they're lazy if we do, so we expect them to do everything on their own. We give them the right to vote and join the military, often times before they graduate high school but expect them to decide what they will do for the rest of their lives only months after they have to ask permission to get a drink of water.

We have school systems that focus on training obedience rather than ensuring that each student actually comprehends what they are being "taught."

We tell your citizens that they have no right to their bodies, minds or souls. We tell your women that they have to carry a pregnancy to term and have the child of the man who raped her but won't let that child use women's bathroom because he was assigned "boy" at birth.

We spend money on two story tour buses and treat your big cities like zoos, meanwhile some of your inhabitants; pillows are their shoes.

We tell your men that if they have feelings then they must be gay and sent to church camp so they can pray it away.

We have two puppets running for president; we can't agree on which is the one with more strings and neither one of them are going to fix any of these issues.

Donald Trump is right. We have some bad people, some bad, bad people in this country. We need to get them out and stop them from running for president.

Hillary Clinton said, "we're standing but we're not yet running." I'm going to take this out of context for a second and say she's absolutely wrong. We're not even standing.

I hope that we fix this for you in 2020.

Sincerely,

Your inhabitants.

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.

It was the second time this year after an historic geomagnetic storm in May 2024. Those Northern Lights were visible in Europe and North America, just like this latest rendition.

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.
