Please Take Your Politics off my Newsfeed

In all honesty, I don't care who you're voting for

Please Take Your Politics off my Newsfeed

It's not that I don't think everyone has a right to opinion. I just don't give two sh*ts what your opinion is.

I always hate when politics invade my Newsfeed. This year seems worse than ever. Every time I get on any social media all I seem to see is an article, post, or picture of something related to the election. At this point, most people have made up their mind quite decisively as to who they are voting for. You can name call and pitch as many fits and rants as you want, but here is the thing it isn't going to change anything.

I am one of those people who knows who I will be voting for come November. I came to that decision on my own and am not sharing. Here is the thing, my choice and vote are my opinion. I don't feel the need to throw my thoughts in your face. Instead I stick with the motto: "Good for you; not for me". You decision is your decision. Politics and many other hot-button topics are all about ideology. Ideology by definition is things that are close to your heart that are unlikely to change. So stop changing to change mine.

Sharing articles can be an important part of social media, and I don't think their is anything wrong with sharing your voice. Don't get mad at me though if I unfollow or unfriend you because you got on my last nerve by preaching your beliefs. Beliefs and passion are importnat in this world but is Facebook really the best place for that.

Facebook to me isn't about changing this life-changing or earth-shattering writing pieces. It's more about goofy listicles and cute puppy videos. So with that let's keep Facebook fun!

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.
