Society Needs To Evolve

The violence needs to stop and together we can make it end.

Society Needs To Evolve
Now Here This

I’m tired. I’m upset. I’m sad. I’m angry. I’m tired of all of the needless deaths. The discrimination that happens to people everyday. The obvious racism and sexism in today’s world. I’m so tired of it. People aren’t treated equally. There is no fair treatment and the love that is supposed to be around is few and far between.

I’m upset that no one feels safe especially minorities. I’m upset that some people support this and don’t want them to feel safe. I’m upset that some people don’t care. That it’s just looked over. Those are the same people that would be upset and indignant that they were looked over. I’m upset over all the hypocrisy that part of society is showing.

I’m sad that people are killed for no reason. That acts of terrorism are happening and killing so many. I’m sad that racial stereotypes are causing people to be killed daily. I’m sad over all the deaths. I’m sad that everything in the news is about senseless murders. People who didn’t need to be killed. They had families and friends who are now devastated.

I’m angry that society hasn’t evolved enough for everyone to think this is not okay. I’m angry there isn’t more peace in the world and acts of terrorism are happening more often. I’m angry that these things have to he said because people still belittle so many things.

I cannot imagine how these families feel whose family member was killed due to racial stereotypes. I’m sorry about how unsafe you feel by just going outside. I cannot imagine how the families of the 84 people who were killed in Paris feel. Terrorism is a deplorable act and I am sorry for your loss.

By not doing anything or saying anything, you are letting racial stereotyping happen. You are not helping anyone learn and evolve that skin color does not describe how someone will act. Everyone needs to an equal chance.

Everyone needs to come together against terrorism. It’s unacceptable and devastating. It doesn't need to be worried about. It should not even be a thing. I hope this reaches someone who needs it or wants to learn.

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.
