Internet Trolls Are Taking Over

And fueling the people who don't think they did anything wrong.

"What's done in the dark will eventually come to the light."

Since a kid, my mother has instilled this in my head. Letting me know that lying wasn't worth it. I quickly realized it to be true, for every lie you told, you had to cover it with 17 more. Causing you to forget the truth and confuse yourself. That alone made me tell the truth more times than people wanted me to (that's a different story).

Look now at all the lies that are being exposed. Rich people paying off schools (which was anybody really surprised?), the sexual misconduct that has been behind the entertainment and church and the Roberts. The messed-up thing is, all of them act like they didn't do anything wrong, or they didn't know it was wrong. No one is taking responsibility for their actions, and people are encouraging it.

I have seen posts where people blame the MeToo movement for people coming forth, saying that these women knew what was going to happen, blaming it on their outfits or aspirations. THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. The problem is people in power taking advantage and having no respect for women. Of course, there are women who have done the same; the men are just not speaking out, at least not yet.

Anger is taking over, and people are saying things that are harsh, calling people out their names, and threatening people's families and lives over being honest. The internet is a good thing, but not everyone is using it for good purposes. If you wouldn't say something to someone's face, you probably shouldn't be saying it over the internet. What you say today will be there in 20 years, just ask Kevin Hart.

I think the best thing about the technology age is that the truth will come out and you can't just move to get away from it, but that can also be a curse. Hopefully, once all the rotten eggs are sorted out, rape culture will fade away and women can finally be treated as equals.

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.
