A Harsh Letter To America
Wallpaper Cave

Lets stop with the "Donald Trump will ever be my fucking president" tattoos, becasue lets face it, as much as we didn't or wanted him to be our next president, he is, so it's time to accept it. This article isn't written in a democratic, republican, pro Trump, or pro Hillary voice; becasue at this point in time we all have to deal with how people voted, right? So this letter is to you America, it's to the people burning down cities, doing peaceful protests, violent protests, and to the ones who are racist beyond belief. We all live in America, the best damn country with the most patriotism, and lets start acting like it. This might seem like a whole lot of common sense to you folks, but how citizens have been behaving, common sense has flown out the window a while ago.

When did we turn into animals, my god. Donald Trump has attacked Muslims, Latinos, Women, the middle class, the lower class, African Americans, homosexuals, trans-genders, okay lets face it basically every group of citizens America has. He companied like an asshole, yes. But when did that give us the right to attack each other? When has it ever been okay for white people to attack black people on college campuses, when has it been okay to set cars on fire, or bring guns to protests, or even lash out and try to right the wrong they think America committed.

We are apart of a DEMOCRATIC government, we are not a dictatorship, we are not totalitarian, we do not have to listen to one person on how to live our lives. Donald Trump will not ruin this country single handedly, did we forget how many people have to approve things before they even reach Trump? Or how about how many things the President can not do with their single belief? The people rule this beautiful country, and yes, a lot of people can not wrap their head around the fact that a reality TV star became our president, but a lot of things could be said about Hillary as well. With that aside, I think we can all agree this election sucked, the candidates who ran were a joke, but it's not up to Donald Trump to make America great again, it's up to us, the American Citizens.

If you voted for Trump, voted for Hillary, or didn't even vote, that doesn't give a single person the right to act better than another, perform racists acts upon another, or have violent protests with in a community that could really injure someone. America is a free and top ranked country becasue of the diversity, and the blood shed that was put forth by our militia. People would have complained either way, regardless what candidate was elected. But what I don't understand America, is that why are fighting each other? Why are we killing each other, making each other feel bad based on where we came from? Becasue one man told us it was okay, or that it wasn't? Because the person we did or didn't vote for became our president, so now we feel entitled?

I am an upper class white female but I will be judged upon my writings becasue people will believe "she's had no hardships", I will be told my article does not matter, I will be told to shut my mouth and do something better. That muslim woman wearing a hijab will be looked at, people will scream bomb at her, people will belittle her, and make her feel unwelcome. The african american boy walking down the street will be interrogated by a cop becasue his pants are too low or his pockets look full, or because he just seems sketchy. That gay couple will be laughed out of the bar while people scream "You're going to Hell!" These people are you, they are me. These people that are belittling each other, these people that are making it so hard for some race and religious people to live their every day lives.

No one is better than anyone, I promise you that. So instead of walking around thinking you are the best damn thing God put on this earth, why don't we come together, why don't we work together to make America Great Again. It's starts with US. Not a man that we put into office. it starts with the American Citizen. You live in the best damn country, so why don't we start acting like it.

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.
