When it comes to Harry Styles, your mind instantly goes to that "old boy-band" One Direction. Branching out on his own since the band's hiatus, Harry has made a tremendous effort to show his true colors-and lets just say they are all under the rainbow.

Lets start with his music. Harry has released one album, self titled, with ten songs. I've sat down and listened to this album on repeat until everything blended into one big song. But being able to listen to this album, and the two added songs on tour (Anna and Medicine) we see a glimpse into who Harry really is. He is genuine. He is bold. He is someone who will continue to believe in you until the end of time. And aside from having a catchy tune, he writes some truly beautiful lyrics that never cease to inspire.

Harry is an avid believer in being who you truly are. He wants you to be the person you believe you can be. He encourages fans to embrace their sexuality, gender, and ethnicity. From dancing with pride flags to even commenting that he doesn't feel the need to label his own sexuality, Harry never fails to make sure that every fan feels they are welcome in his world. That his concerts are a safe, loving space for everyone. Just last week during his performance at United Center he remarked "In this room, please be whoever you want to be. You are free".

Harry also is also a supporter of several crucial movements that frequently make headlines. He makes sure to show that he is in support of the Black Lives Matter and End Gun Violence movements, from a simple few stickers on his guitar, to defying security to get his hands on a BLM flag during his shows. He is a part of the movements that are changing our lives- and they are changing his too. He is helping us lead the way to change, and inspiring his own audience to get involved.

And lastly, Treat People With Kindness. Treat People With Kindness is one of Harry's many iconic sayings and is also the charity campaign that is being run through his tour. His website writes "Visit the merchandise stand at each Harry Styles Live On Tour date for an exclusive Treat People With Kindness hair tie set. All of Harry's profits from these purchases, as well as a portion of ticket sales, will be donated to various local charities from his tour stops around the world." He is giving to those who cannot give themselves. Knowing that he has the ability to draw in a large audience, this charity campaign gives the perfect opportunity to give back to the fans by performing, and give back to the world by donating part of the profits to those in need.

I know that Harry Styles isn't for everyone, and there will always be people out there that frown upon his music, or maybe even his person in general. But I hope that after (maybe) giving his album a listen and reading about his encouragement of fans and his love for the world and everything in it, some of you might just think twice. Because he's started something, and there's no stopping it now.

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.

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.
