Please Social Distance

The Corona Virus has taken so much from all of us but we continue to make it worse for ourselves

I want people to start listening to the precautions and stop rebelling before this gets any worse.

I don't care if Chad from Apple Pie can't go on his Spring Break trip to Hawaii. Get over it. There will be plenty more spring break trips, it's not the end of the world. Stay home and stop only thinking about yourselves.

This is a really hard time for all of us but the least we can do is stop spreading it. The more you go out and touch things, the more germs get spread. The more people you engage with, the more it spreads. Do you see a pattern?

The government is not asking for you to stay in your house for the rest of your life, it's TEMPORARY. Things are going to get better. We can make it better and guess what? It doesn't take much. You can do it from the comfort of your couch, bed or desk. It's as simple as that.

Trust and believe me, I'm mad. So much has been taken away from me because of this virus, but I'm trying my best to not be selfish. I am currently at home and have been at home for weeks.

Do I complain? Of course. Am I happy I'm not possibly infecting others? Absolutely. Am I glad to not be part of the problem? Yes.

EVERYONE needs to respect social distancing. I know it's hard and honestly a little weird but it serves a purpose. This won't last forever. One of these days the numbers will decrease, there will be a cure and we will be able to return to normal. I dream about that every single night.

But unfortunately, my dreams and many other people's dreams, are not coming true because of selfish people who think it's a huge joke. When this is all done you can be as selfish as you want, but now isn't the time. Think a little and do the right thing.

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.
