And not in the way you think.

Someone's Political Views Can Tell You A Lot About Them

Let me begin with this: I'm not attacking your political views, or anyone's political views. Politics seem to bring out the worst in people, and tons of people will think you're picking on them and their views.

I'm not around for it.

It doesn't matter if someone supports Trump or Hillary, or maybe they're still waiting for Bernie to make a comeback. Regardless, it really doesn't matter who they're supporting. But, their political views could tell you a ton about them. And no, I don't mean whether or not they support the LGBTQ community or abortions.

It's all in the way they present their views.

There's a fine line between someone saying, "I'm a Trump supporter and here are my reasons why," and a person saying, "You're a disgusting human being for following Trump." We should all support each other and respect each other's views.

Think about some of the political posts you've come across on Facebook, and other social media. Some of it is full of people battling each other. Is it really necessary?

To me, the answer is no. It's not necessary to bully someone for their political beliefs. It's not necessary to key a car because it has a sticker on it that supports a specific candidate. These are the types of things that show someone's true colors.

So yes, someone's political views can say a whole lot about them.

Do they really care about our country and our future, or are they just about judging people based on their beliefs? Politics bring out an ugly side in most people, but we have to realize that children and young adults are still looking up to you and your actions.

Would they approve of the way you present your political beliefs?

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.
