Satire On Narrative: How I Learned To Let Go Of Things And Treat People As A Means To An End

Forgotten and stressed as I found myself, I learned how to let go of things.

Satire On Narrative: How I Learned To Let Go Of Things And Treat People As A Means To An End

I realized that I have power in this world, a power that is unfounded by anyone else: I am a writer.

I get to express myself and put emphasis on me and my story

Born to an untroubled past, I find it hard to get anyone to listen to me properly. I envy people who have had hardships in the past, how their character has grown and changed over time. Then, I realized something: I can live vicariously through other people, treating people as if I have lived with them. Not only does this secure me as an empath, as I am able to understand other people's hardships and feelings, but this gives me character development. I am able to adapt other's perspectives as my own. Not only does this give other people meaning within my worldview, but it also creates these people as my worldview.

I learned to let go and write

I found myself troubled and alone in this world, I had nothing to grasp. My life is just too perfect for this horrible and cruel world. With this perfection that I possess, I decided long ago that I would become a famous writer. I can't just become a lowly writer, I must become famous as I need to impact as many numbers as I can. I have made so many friends these past few years, and using their stories in my writing creates a flavorful combination of words that attract many different types of readers. I need to appeal to multiple people at a time.

Writing has given me a special privilege in this world

As a writer, I receive little to no financial support (besides the checks in the mail that my parents send me every semester), so, in lieu of an income, I expect the world do me favors. I know there is a God out there, and since I am writing scripture, He will bend the free will of others in order to give me convenience. No one truly knows how important my influence on this world will get.

The objectification, the materialism of my work cements it as a true work of art. I am a product of my time, and I will produce as much as possible in order to make a deadline. I will get my head start in any way possible, even if I have to post on a predatory forum.

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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

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.
