Listen Up, Ladies

Support your local girl gang.

Listen up, ladies. If there was ever a time that us ladies needed to stick together — it is now. And we need to more than ever. I for one have not always been a girls girl myself.

I went throughout high school like most teenage girls did — catty and ready to gossip whenever. As I have grown older I have come to fruition with how this world works.

Women are constantly juxtaposing themselves with other women which we know only weakens our #girlgang.

The thing is, if us women are not empowering each other and supporting one another, we are not living to our full potential as women. The electric energy we give off as females is so intense and fulfilling; when linked together with other electric women we become dominant in various aspects.

First things first — let’s stop tearing each other apart. What do we actually gain from that?

Because we sure as hell don’t gain true happiness when we engage in putting other females down.

Let’s look at it this way: we are all teammates on the same team, working through the same challenges and obstacles as each other. Why not work together towards the same goal? Why make things harder than they have to be?

Every girl knows the hardships of a female, so why wouldn’t we want to help one another out? It only makes sense that we would do so. We all know the feeling of being hurt by another girl, and we know it’s not a good one.

Let’s not lose sight of that feeling and instead use it to build up other females who need it.

Another aspect to look at is the boys.

We need to stop putting the men in our lives before our true sisters. It sounds obvious and oversaid, but it still holds true.

I see girls time and time again replace their solid girlfriends with their new boy and more than not, are left in the end without either.

Of course, that isn’t always the narrative, but I am sure whoever is reading this right now can relate to that time they lost their bestie to the boy -- not a good look, babe.

My friends and I pride ourselves on being girl’s girls as we would do anything for another female in a heartbeat. Why? Because we are wholeheartedly here for the girls.

They say “empowered women empower women” and that is without a doubt a true statement. Us ladies need to come together and let our girl gangs grow stronger and mighty.

It’s time that all of us females become true “girl’s girls” and genuinely support one another. Let’s do the damn 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.
