Oh, you have dark skin? Let's create slavery and hurt humans for others own pleasure. Blonde? You must be dumb. Girl? Why aren't you in the kitchen? Mexican? Get on the other side of the wall. Have a disorder? Gay? That's not ok.

Well... guess what? Most of the population whether it's that they have a different skin tone or as simple as their gender, are all uniquely different. The fact of the matter is, most of the population is DIFFERENT! We are humans and one of the things that make us so amazing are the many varieties and unique traits we have. It is a blessing, not something that people should be using as a tactic to gain power, make fun of people, and push others down. The human race is all different so how can you make fun of differences? It really makes no sense to me how someone is that evil, let alone absent-minded, selfish, and power needy, that they need to push others down for them to feel more superior! In the end, not only do these actions not help or improve oneself but can lead to one's own demise and a very negative lifestyle. This has become a pattern that humans keep on repeating, causing us to trip on our own feet and cause our race to break apart and fight one another instead of progressing forward as a whole. This act can cause a group of people to live a life full of judgment and suffering.

Even I feel a daily pressure and norm that society has placed on girls; the acceptable and not acceptable barriers that condemn me.

When did kindergarten rules like, "Treat others the way you want to be treated" become ignored? I've realized that this basic rule you are taught when you're a child isn't followed by many adults. It's easy to put yourself in someone else's shoes and wonder, what would it be like? For any progress or positive move for the human race to occur, people need to stop pushing others down and ignoring the fact of the matter. Instead of being glad you are not in that other person's shoes, why not help them, and empower people? This is a basic rule that two-year-olds can follow, so why the hell can't adults?!

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.
