Victim Blaming And 55 Other Trends Everyone Needs To Leave WAY Behind In 2018

Any genuine person can agree that these are "trends" we must get over in the new year.

1. Men thinking they have control over women's choices

2. And their bodies 

3. Dress codes 

4. Because our bodies (both men and women's) are a canvas and you can dress your canvas how you want to 

5. Using the R-word like it's okay 

6. Which it's not, no matter what context you use it in 

7. Slut Shaming

8. Skinny or fat shaming

9. Judging others in general  

10. For ANYTHING 

11. Such as the way they dress 

12. The way that they talk 

13. The way that they study or practice anything from religion to school work

14. Telling men that they aint shit

15. Because this isn't fair to men 

16. And women wouldn't like it if men told them something similar in context

17. Because men and women are the shit

18. Cheating. Leave this in 2018. 

19. From exams to your partner, leave your cheating trait behind 

20. Shit-talking

21. Because this doesn't make anybody feel good about themselves

22. Lying

23. I shouldn't have to say anything more about this

24. The idea that people are objects 

25. Not just women, but every body

26. This includes immigrants

27. And our president 

28. They are all people, not objects deserving of hate, assault, and cruelty

29. The idea that men and women are equal 

30. Because we aren't

31. Our creator made women to do the things men can't do and men to do the things women can't do 

31. Therefore, we are not equal 

32. But we are equally useful and purposeful in society

33. The idea that children don't have a voice

34. Because they do, we just don't give them the chance to show it

35. The idea that anxiety and other mental disorders define a person

36. A good way to gain insight on this is to practice saying something such as "My son has depression" instead of "my depressed son" 

47. This way you are not using someone's illness to literally define them 

48. The idea that being nice costs nothing

49. Because it can cost you relationships and opportunities if you are "too nice"

50. And result in you getting used 

51. But, despite this, please be a nice person in 2019

52. The general idea that you are not worthy 

53. Because I promise you, you are 

54. The idea that fresh starts have to wait until Monday 

55. Because a fresh start, starts today

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
