We March Because

We are the feminazi’s right? We marched, we are un-ladylike. we are loud and unapologetically so. With so many people against the women’s march, you might be thinking, why did we march?

We marched because of the doctors that refuse women safe healthcare.

We marched because out president has been accused of sexual assault, yet was still allowed to run for office.

We marched because one in 4 women have been sexually assaulted in their lifetime and thats only the statistics we know about because so many women don’t feel safe reporting it.

We marched because of Brock Turner.

We marched because whether you agree with abortion or not, that should be your choice and not the men in congress who don’t know you.

We marched because of the women who are slut shamed by men and the women on the sidelines who accept this as okay behavior.

We marched because you should never feel powerless.

We marched because you have the right to say yes or no whenever YOU please.

We marched because underwear that prevents sexual assault is a thing.

We marched because of the countless women who have benefitted from plan parenthood.

We marched because our vice president thinks you can electrocute gay people into being straight.

We marched because many members of congress believe that abortion should be banned with no mercy of those who are victims of rape of incest.

We march because because most people wont let you have control over your body until someone has already taken that away.

Lastly, we marched for you.

We marched because you deserve to choose.

Choose a house, choose your doctor, choose your medical treatment, choose your job, choose if you want a partner or not and who that partner is.

Just like the countless women before us, whether you wanted it or not, we marched for you.

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.
