Dear Donald Trump

I knew you would be a disappointment, but I hoped you would prove me wrong.

Dear Donald Trump,

How are you? I'm sure you're OK, considering the fact that you now have the highest amount of power in America, and the Secret Service can't tell you "no" every time you take a two million dollar vacation. Or maybe you're not OK. Maybe you're panicking because you know that while the election was a big fun game of slander and manipulation, being the President is too big of a responsibility for you to handle. Whether you're feeling alright or not, I wanted to let you know how the America that you promised to care for is feeling.

An overwhelming amount of the American people are distraught, in shock and quite frankly pissed off at the actions you've taken thus far in your presidency. Your whole mission from day one has been to silence different demographics of people residing in your country. You want to silence believers in climate change, you want to silence the LGBT community, you want to silence immigrants and you most definitely want to silence victims of sexual assault. Because if a woman admits her sexual assault, she can't be insured. That's a great way to tell attackers in this nation that they can get away with whatever they want, and the victim can't speak up out of fear for not receiving insurance. Everything you are doing in office is furthering your own misogynistic agenda, rather than furthering the best interests of the entire nation.

I think that the problem is that you've never been one of us. You've never been the average American citizen. You've existed in your bubble of wealth for a majority of your life, and you don't understand that while exquisite vacations and building towers named after yourself may be your priorities, most Americans just want health care, fair pay, and other basic human rights. You don't understand the American people, so how could you possibly advocate for our rights as citizens of this country?

Well I have some bad news for you, Mr. President. I will not be silenced, and neither will the others who care about the opportunities they deserve as citizens of this country. These next three and a half years of your presidency will be filled with angry citizens who have had their rights ripped from them. I hope that the next election brings about a candidate who actually wants to preside over the nation for the people, not just for themselves. I knew you would be a disappointment as president, but I really hoped that you would prove me wrong.

Enjoy the Oval Office, Trump.

We sure as hell aren't enjoying anything.

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.
