Dear women and men everywhere,

Hi it's me, Feminism. It has come to my attention that many of you fear labeling yourself as a "feminist." I get the feeling that many of you do not really get me. You think you know me, but you just don't. I wanted to write to you to tell you who I really am and what it means to accept me into your lives, which I think you all should.

Many people think that I am a lonely and insecure girl who takes all her anger out on men because none of them want me. That's not true. I do not hate men; in fact I want them all to be happy and live equally among women. If women gain equality that does not take anything away from men. I do not want all men to perish because I need them to help me live on. All I want is for women to be able to live under the same unwritten laws as men can.

Some of you think my cause does not matter. You think that I want to obtain a goal that does not need to be obtained. Some of you actually believe that women and men are already equal. That just isn't true. Sure I have accomplished many things in my life, but I do not think I will ever be finished fighting. I want to maintain equality between men and women forever, therefore I will never stop trying to get people to like me.

It hurts my feelings when women do not want anything to do with me. They think that men will judge them for hanging around me. However, if everyone can understand what I really am about, then there would be no judgement to fear. I want women to live peacefully among men and I want men to live peacefully among women. I do not think women should have more opportunities than men, I just think they should have as much as men do. I just can't understand why I am not appealing to some women because I just want whats best for them after all.

You do not have to be a woman to support me. Men can support me too. We cannot live in a just society if our brothers and sisters do not stand for one another. Supporting me is like supporting your mother, sister, daughter, grandmother, aunt, girlfriend, wife, niece etc. I want to make this world better, but I can't do it alone. I need people to work with me and for me regardless of their gender.

Now that I have explained my cause and who I am, can you all consider supporting me? I promise I am not out to get anyone. I just want everyone to be happy and equal together! We can live in perfect harmony if you all chose to welcome me into your lives. I promise you will not regret being my friend.

Yours truly,

Feminism

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.
