It's Time For America To Come Together

We must unite.

It's Time For America To Come Together

With all that is going on in our world, the destruction and the devastation, it is time for all of us to come together. We need to stand by one another in these times of hardship, support in any way we can, and give without asking anything in return.

Hurricane Harvey has left so many with nothing, taken away some people's family members, and destroyed them personally. If you are in a place that is safe, be thankful for that and help those over there that aren't as fortunate. The massive amount of water over there is not going to go away overnight, it is going to take time and resources. Yes we may have little to give, but all those little amounts will add up to something extraordinary.

Look at those states right now that are on fire, people there are also losing everything, trying to flee to somewhere safe while leaving their home and everything in it behind. This is yet another natural disaster that can't be fixed overnight and we need to stand up and help them out too. We may have little to give, but they may not have anything at all.

Idaho is dealing with an issue of an earthquake, ANOTHER natural disaster. We can't let our world fall apart and just stand by and watch. We need to stand with those experiencing this disaster, despite any differences we may have.

I don't know where to start when it comes to DACA, the whole situation makes me sick to my stomach. These individuals were brought here against their own choice, it is not their fault they are undocumented, but they have made a life in this country. How in any way is it okay to pull a life and a dream away from someone who didn't personally choose to do anything wrong. They will be sent back to a place that they don't know, sure that may be where their family came from but it is not where they came from, our country is the home they know. Stand with the dreamers.

Yes there are a lot of things happening right now, and whether you believe it is a sign that Jesus is coming, or global warming/climate issues, or just a horrible unfortunate event, it is time to come together. We are ONE country and we need to show support to those going through something that they don't have control over.

This is a time where our country can either fall apart or we can fall together. We can make us weaker or we can make us stronger. We can create hate, or we can create love. We can be the country that we have been known to be or we can be the country that ends up in hatred and devastation, which is not the America we know that we are and can be.

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.
