Dear Mr. President

Lets TRULY make America great again.

Dear Mr. President
Issue Hawk

Donald Trump, your presence in this race has done two major things: Bring hope to those that are tired of a corrupt government, and fuel the hate and racism that already existed (but not tolerated) in this country. Your followers believe in you so strongly, they believe you can be the one to make a change in our damaged government system. (They took a real leap of faith in my opinion.) They are so tired of the same misbehavior in politics that they completely ignore (And some condone and support) the horror that comes along with him

I can just imagine the trump supporters already fuming while reading this... and this is just what I'm talking about. Bigotry, to start, is something in Donald Trump that is becoming socially acceptable among his active followers. Not only opposing any opinion that doesn't match up with theirs and becoming enraged by it, but also outwardly saying that certain groups of people's opinions don't matter. This sense of superiority that lives in Donald trump arises in his defenders. I think it's the sense of power, or the sense of belonging they feel knowing under Donald Trumps America, they are seen as better.

Racism in America has been present way before Donald Trump came along, but before him, it was unacceptable. Racists would get shut down immediately if ever they publicly harassed someone. Now it's everywhere, and the people that are getting shut down are the ones trying to stop the racism. We are being called cry babies, being told to toughen up, all of the sudden the definition of being tough is tearing down a human being solely because of where they derive from. On Facebook, I shared an article about white children screaming "build that wall" in a school cafeteria while Latino students watched and cried. An actual response from a guy I went to school with, was "good." He proceeded to tell me that he finds it amusing and he will teach his kids not to be "pussies" and toughen up.

Overall, the biggest thing Donald Trump brings out in his followers is hate. Blaming immigration and refugees for our problems causes Donald's American's to stir on the thought, creating hate inside of them for a direct group (or race) of people. That may not be what he intended, considering Trump supporters will say he is 'in no way a racist'. But this is what he has done by behaving the way he does. It's disgusting to see people wanting to strip the human rights away from an individual based on their race, gender, sex, etc. His supporters take what he says, what he does, how he acts and they run with it.

My final note is this, Mr. President, if you truly meant no harm, if you support all humans equally and support their rights: stop this madness. Address those of your supporters that are becoming hateful, aggressive and extreme. Do not condone their behavior. Shut it down for the sake of our countries peace. I wish nothing but the absolute best for these next four years with you, and I hope you truly can make America great again.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
