To The Christian Men Out There,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry girls strut in front of you in skimpy clothing, daring you to look.

I'm sorry that the very women who have not an ounce of respect for themselves expect you to place them on a pedestal.

I'm sorry nearly everywhere you go, you're tempted by a television ad or the cover of a magazine.

I'm sorry so many women have neglected modesty.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry some of you get ragged on for not sleeping around; for the shame the world tries to throw on those of you who don't throw yourself into a different girl's bed each and every night.

I'm sorry being a virgin has become taboo to your friends -- that you're ridiculed for waiting for something that will last more than one night.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry we, as women, have neglected our self-worth.

I'm sorry we have stopped expecting more from you, and I mean that in the most sincere way. I'm sorry we have lowered not only our standards for men, but our standards for ourselves.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry to the men who have been belittled for standing on biblical values and truths.

I'm sorry you often get all of the blame when things go wrong.

I'm sorry we jump into relationships with you without having a solid foundation on Christ, and then wonder why the relationship failed.

I'm sorry being unequally yoked has become the new norm.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry women have stopped being women; that so many of us won't give you the chance to be a man.

I'm sorry we've stopped allowing you to open the door for us, to walk on the side of the sidewalk closer to the street, and to pay for the date, among other things.

I'm sorry we've bought into the lie that chivalry is dead.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry women judge you based not on the content of your character or how hard you work for what you have, but for the amount of money in your banking account.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry many women don't appreciate your heart for God.

I'm sorry it is so incredibly hard to be sold out to God in this world we live in.

I'm so, so sorry.

My brothers in Christ, I'm praying for you.

I pray you stand firm in the faith. I pray you are kind and don't waver. I pray you hold out for something real. I pray you never give up hope, and I pray you can be an example to this world we live in.

Sincerely,

Your Sister in Christ

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.
