Give Me Noise

When you're at your all time low, do you like being alone in the silence?

I've been keeping myself busy

So that way, my brain never goes silent

At times like these, it's crucial not to become crippled by your problems

But to think of ways to fill that emptiness

Even if it feels as if it is an emptiness that cannot be filled

A sadness that cannot be killed

But nothing is immortal

And nothing remains the same

To confirm this truth all you have to do is listen

As you stand out on the Earth's ground

You will hear tectonic plates moving and shifting around

But still, in this moment,

The quiet terrifies me quite literally

And I think it's because my thoughts are too big for my own head


When everything is silent and still

I begin to ask myself questions like why did I say that to that one person back in 2013?

Why did I give up on myself that one summer?

Why did I not study harder for that test?

Or other questions like who the hell am I

And what am I supposed to do with this life

Silence is my enemy

Silence is my tormentor

My destructor

The creator of my eventual catastrophe

While I drown in my despondency


My silence, my pain, and my past

Tag team me

Throwing jabs at me mercilessly

And my skin breaks

My face bruises and my heart aches

Give me noise, raise the volume

Speak a little louder, will you?

And save me from thinking too much

In this silence, I feel like I cannot breathe

Like this silence might just mean Doomsday for me

So give me noise

Give me noise

It is all I ask of you now and forever

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.
