What does equality mean to you? There are so many television shows, news broadcasts, and social media information about black lives matter! The fact is every life matters. If you are African American you matter! Caucasian, native Americans, Chinese, all lives matter! I am a Caucasian female that works in retail. Let me tell you one thing, men do not want a female to be a sales person. If a male walks in and stands by us the customer automatically starts asking him questions, which he has no idea what they are, because he doesn't even work there.

Everyone has something to say about racism, sexism, exc. The problem is when we obsess over things like that we don't see the beauty in our own lives. Each life matters. Every single one of them. If we stop thinking about our backgrounds then we can make our lives what we want them to be.

There are a lot of people that want to commit suicide because of how hard there lives are. Most of the time based on race. I am 19 years old and I know what it feels like to feel miserable. I know what it feels like to just want to curl up, cry, and just lay there and feel the pain deepen and worsen as the day grows into night. We should never even think about suicide. It will just make everything worse. You won't have a chance to know God. If you don't believe in God, think about the people that care about you! It would hurt them like crazy! Even if it doesn't feel like it now somewhere out there someone loves you!

Every single life matters! Let's all try to help those in need! I will always help someone that needs it! That is who I am.

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.
