Don't Touch Her, She's Human.

Gigi Ha-did the right thing, you would've too.

Don't Touch Her, She's Human.
New York Daily News

Human. A term so easily forgotten and misconstrued. The only thing in common that every individual can agree upon is our humanity- we're all humans. You're human, I'm human, Ryan Gosling is human (although his looks are out of this WORLD), we're all humans. So why do we make it a thing to feel like some humans have more rights than others? Why can some humans kill and get away with it while others suffer? Why can some others attack and get away with it, while the ones who defend themselves get scrutinized to no ends? For what? Because they're privileged and that means they should get over it? i don't think so.

Let me happily remind you of the world we live in. On September 22 after the Max Mara fashion show in Italy for Milan fashion week, Gigi and sister Bella Hadid were seen exiting the show and taking pictures with fans as they were approaching their awaiting ride. As both girls were being photographed and walking along with security in tow, a man (rumored to be prankster VitaIii Sediuk) decided to invade Gigi's personal space and lift her up from her waist and grab her. I say rumored since the only person owning up to it has been him, who by the way has done this to various celebrities- one of which put him in jail for 30 days. You would think he would learn his lesson but I guess intelligence is a rare quality. I don't know what part of his idea was more stupid, the fact that he thinks he can just grab a woman and it'll all be fine and dandy or the fact that once he saw her fight back he ran away like the coward he is. Explain to me how grabbing Gigi as a prank and "pissing her off" makes you feel like a better man. Explain how you can justify your stupidity when you decided to run away from the prank you so proudly accomplished because you clearly are more than aware of the possible repercussions that may occur- or you wouldn't have ran away. Just a thought though.


That isn't even the worst of it. What appalls me the most are the ridiculously idiotic headlines i see. "Gigi LASHES OUT", "Gigi can't take a joke", "Gigi goes crazy", Are you kidding me??? Why do we as a society always place the blame on the victim. Not to mention- the female. I'ts like we have this picture perfect, cookie cutter image of men in our minds where only they are perfect and only they are right. Ladies and gentleman welcome to mysoginism!! I would like to make something abundantly blunt and clear. Gigi Hadid had EVERY SINGLE RIGHT to defend herself and fight back. Last time I checked, Her body was Hers, and only hers. Who do you think you are, to grab a woman- celebrity or not and expect them to enjoy it? WITHOUT REQUESTING CONSENT OR YOU KNOW MAYBE MENTIONING REAL QUICK, LIKE HEY CAN I GRAB U? THX.

JUST BECAUSE MY BODY IS MOVING THROUGH A PUBLIC SPACE DOES NOT MEAN IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM THAT MY BODY IS A PUBLIC SPACE. Typing it louder for the people in the back!! I cannot think of one reasonable explanation as to why Gigi shouldn’t have fought back- go on try me. THIS MAN LITERALLY GRABBED HER AND EXPECTED HER TO BE LIKE "LOLOL SO FUN OMG GET OFF"??? Her body is not only is her money maker and backbone to her illustrious career (which by the way is booming at 21) but her body is hers. I don't think I can stress that enough. That means that she has every right to deny someone access to her body, she has every right to fight for her body and she has every right to defend her body. I can promise you that if that man grabbed any man or woman like that in New York it would have resulted in a fist fight, a bloody nose or a fracture. He got away easy, unharmed, unaccused, and unaware of the issues and drama he has unleashed and created. Yet she is the one consistently scrutinized, judged and tormented for what? For defending HER body, HER rights, and HER personal space? You can bet, I would have done just the same as she and it wouldn't make headlines. Learn boundaries, respect them, refrain from overstepping where your foot (or hands) are not allowed- you may actually end up being a human being. "But she's famous" is not an excuse for her to take a minor assault lightly. She maybe famous, but above all she is human. As humans, we have the right to our bodies, our decisions for or about them and who gets access, that is for the body's owner to decide not somebody on the street. Gigi, keep doing you. Continue to fight and defend yourself- the way you and anyone else in your situation should. It's human nature, and you just so happen to be human. Huh. Who would have thought?

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.
