A List of Questions to Ask Yourself.

Why do others thrive off of other individual’s sorrows?

Why do girls make fun of other girls for not wearing the newest brand or for not wearing make up?

Why does everyone now a days play victim?

Why do people belittle other’s? Are they jealous? Do you wish they were that person? Are they bored? What is it about them that makes them a target for your sorry life of bullying?

Why do other’s thrive off of others misfortunes?

Better yet, why does everyone comment or have something to say like they are some expert when things happen in someone’s life? Whether they know them or not?

Why are people so quick to judge others? Maybe the girl in the photo is dealing with more than you could ever imagine. Did you ever think of that?

Why do people still crave and demand more power between sexes and races and titles, etc.? Maybe take a look at how we all build the world we live in today.

Why are people so quick to point fingers?

And why do people hate those who risk their lives for us? Yet they are the first individuals to call for that help when they are in danger?

Why do we all take life for granted?

And why do we lose those that do not deserve to be taken from us young?

Why is money such an important thing? Yes, it can get us materialistic things, but those things spoil, get ruined, and cannot buy health or true happiness.

Why do we look up to actors, actresses, and professional athletes? There is nothing wrong with that, and a lot of those careers give back too many many things. But instead of a kid looking up to a figure because they are simply “famous” in the world’s eyes… why don’t parents talk about the solider over in another world fighting for their safety, freedom, and life. I don’t know, maybe it is just me, but those individuals are the definition of what a hero is.

Why do people beat down those who are trying to help us?

What ever happened to family fun nights that did not include technology and just board games?

Since when is being unhealthy a fad? And why are we in this world encouraging and embracing it?

Why does there have to be a “right” age to get married, have kids, go to college?

And why does everyone HAVE to go to college? To get more money? Yes, some jobs, but personally I would rather be happy then hate my job and do it just for pieces of meaningless paper.

If someone did wrong and did time for their crime or mistake in any capacity, why do they deserve to get punished and shamed and called out for the rest of their life? We all have made mistakes some bigger than others, yet we just didn’t get caught.

Why are people so quick to judge and act so perfect?

Maybe it is because they truly hate themselves, and would rather point fingers and play victim.

I do not know what is going on in this world. I believe that I was born in the wrong decade. But I try my very best to embrace my life and the world I now live in. I am not perfect by any means. But I know that I try my best to make sure other’s feel cared for, and important no matter what their situation. Just remember you never know what someone might be going through. So maybe do not be so quick to judge, comment, or act like you know everything when it comes to their life. Maybe start paying more attention to yourself, bettering you for YOU, and letting others go about their own lives. High school is over for the majority of us, so with that said leave the petty drama, rumors, complaints, nasty thoughts back in high school. And always remember to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Try helping and giving back in any way that you are passionate about. You will make your positive difference in this world.

Stay True,

Montana Joleen

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.
