Open Letter To The Stanford Rapist

Dear Stanford rapist,

You don't have a name. The victim was identified as 'unconscious woman', therefore, you don't have one. I know you as the kid who took the power and trust from a young woman. The girl was intoxicated and you took advantage. How dumb can you be? I think your sentence should have been longer and I am glad you got banned from the USA swimming team. Daddy probably paid that judge off. Nice to be rich, isn't it? I also blame your parents. They should have raised you better. Anyone who rapes or sexually assaults anyone is a horrible individual. I don't know what possesses you to do such things. You took away pride and a sense or worthiness. You made things harder for the victim. It blows my mind that you apologized after. You put the victim and the family through a lot of stress and hurt. Do you know what pain you put her and her family through? Do you know what this could cause her for the rest of her life? You knew what you did. As I said, the judge was wrong. How can he have given such a low sentence to a crime that deserved more? Who cares if you are a good swimmer! It doesn't make sense. Nothing in the judicial system makes sense. I feel you have to pay the price for the crime you commit. For your father, he is pathetic. He should know better. Your father should learn what twenty minutes of action before he even said anything. He should have taught you right from wrong. I don't know why your sentence was shorter than any other rapist. It's not fair. Everyone should pay equal prices for their harsh actions.

My heart goes out to the victim and every victim of rape. It's hard to come back and feel some power and trust for anyone. No one deserves to be touched when you don't want it. There are times when you hate, times when you love and times to forgive. The months to come are going to be hard but with help from friends, family and the choice of seeking professional help. You will start to realize you're better than this. What happened to you,didn't deserve to be victimized. God always finds ways to repay sinners and karma will come around. You are stronger than you know and it took a lot of courage to speak up and out to the public. I commend every rape victim out there. You spoke out, took time and effort to be better again. Just keep believing in yourself.

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.
