Hell

A Donald Trump Presidency

Hell

I envision Hell as a place where women's rights are slipping away. Where powerful, white men are able to dictate what women are able to do with their bodies. I envision Hell as a place where women are punished for having an abortion. And having an abortion will be completely nonexistent in the near future.

I envision Hell as a place where women are treated in misogynistic ways. Where rape is advertised and will soon be the new normal. Where it is okay to "grab women by the pussy" and call them horrible names. Where women feel unsafe walking alone at night because they don't know if they'll be alive the next morning.

I envision Hell as a place where it is okay to assume a woman is menstruating because she asks deep and meaningful questions. Where women's breasts are sexualized in lingerie advertisements and pornography but shamed when breastfeeding their infants because it is viewed as disgusting.

I envision Hell as a place where marginalized groups are treated with disrespect and inequality. Where lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and other individuals are treated as if they are nonexistent and don't have a place here. I envision Hell as a place where suicide rates are on the rise because these people would rather die than be who they really are. Because our society still fails to accept them.

I envision Hell as a place where the color of someone's skin determines if they are criminals. Where young, black men are the victims are police brutality. I envision Hell as a place where immigrants are viewed as rapists. Where children are taken away from their parents at the border and kept in cages. I envision Hell as a place where building a wall to keep hopeful people out of our country has become the rhetoric that we hear daily.

I envision Hell as a place where school shootings have become an everyday occurrence in our society. Where innocent students are shot and killed. I envision Hell as a place where parents must identify the corpses of their young children. Where parents have to bury their child because nothing is being done about gun violence. I envision Hell as a place where teachers die to save the lives of their students. Where thoughts of arming teachers with guns appear to be a good idea because apparently, it is the only way we can save lives.

I envision Hell as a place where the time for prayer must stop and the time for action must begin.

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.
