An Open Letter To The Trump/Hillary/Bernie/Rubio Haters

To The Presidential Candidate Haters,

At age 20, I consider myself decently informed and open-minded to the politics occurring in the world around us. I'd like to think I know enough about the economy, environment, fiscal policy, and educational matters to form an opinion and affiliate with one party (or, closely enough to one party).

And sure, let it be known that there are countless things I disagree with going on in both parties right now. It seems as though this pool of candidates isn't nearly as strong as prior years (which, we're all pretty well aware of).

But what we all need to do is take a step back and think about how angry we're getting at these candidates. Is you bashing Trump supporters on my newsfeed going to change the fact that Donald Trump is a narcissist who is exceptional at being very politically incorrect? No. Is you making a joke of Hillary's prior (and ongoing) allegations going to change the fact that she KILLED Bernie on Super Tuesday? No.

In today's society, people are just so constantly angry at one another. If you don't agree with someone's political views, fine. But why is that a reason to put down someone else? We live in a world where if someone's beliefs are not our own, then they're either: 1. Wrong 2. A racist/narcissist or 3. Too "soft".

What I'm wondering is, how can we make a world where we can have our own opinions without being labled superior, selfish, needy, lazy, unintelligent, etc.-- Is it even possible to have your own opinion without so much controversy?

There will never be a time when every single person is in agreement. And heck, this is actually a good thing. But I look forward to a day when each person can express themselves without being told they're "wrong"... And without all of this anger.

Pre/post every single debate... I've never seen so much hate and anger on the Internet in my life. It's time we take a step back, and realize that we're actually called the UNITED States. And whoever becomes the president, or even the republican/democrat nominee, is someone we're going to have to unitedly support.

Rant over.

Sincerely,
Tired Of Angry Facebookers

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.
