The Life of the Party

This is not me.

The Life of the Party

As I’m walking up hill, I can hear this annoying sound. It's loud and sounds unorganized. The closer I get the clearer I can see this four wall statue made up of some sort of items they use for entertainment called legos, with some sort of pointed figure on top. As I walk closer, the sounds becomes louder but no one is in sight. Until two young foxes go into this type of portal. As I go into this portal, I see different sets of hunters. Inside the portal there are these types of fireflies all over the place supplying the source of light. The hunters seem to be hunting for different types of foxes. The foxes are insane. They are all different and they're all acting differently with no sense of order and control. Some of them are moving awkwardly and shaking their tails in a very informal way. While others have transformed themselves into looking like something else. I can't necessarily put my finger on it, but they have painted their fur and have done something to their eyes that put them aside from all the other foxes. I think about how this wouldn't be allowed at home. And I start to question if this is how they act at home. The hunters are foolish and trying to conquer certain foxes by bribing them with what looks like a magical drink. It's blue and lights up it seems as if they all have this magical drink. I question myself if that is the reason why there are all so wild. The room is foggy and there are separate parts to this room. In one room there are rows of holes lined up and there are both foxes and hunters trying to get this tiny sphere into some of the holes. I notice two foxes to be doing something that seems like fighting, but I find myself questioning the fact that they are trying to get caught by these hunters. These hunters with guns in their hands using them as a weapon. The hunters can take their life away at any moment and all they are doing is sitting there giving the hunters perfect aim to shot and take over. The longer I spend time here the more I want to become one of them. In a way I have this pleasing feeling inside me as I bond closer with these foxes and hunters. It seems that the longer I stand here with out that magical drink in my had the more I feel as an outsider. But they are outsiders as well because I don't know any tribe that would consider this right. I become to realize that the hunters aren't really hunting and the foxes are something else. As a fox hands me a drink I begin to start doing the same movements that they are. And for a split second I feel as if I belong. But as soon as I look into the mirror in the wall I realize that this isn't me that this is all just a game of pretend and I am pretending to be someone I am not. Just to fit in. When I should simply just stand out. When in reality this will all be over tommorow I will still be me because this action that I am doing will not change anything. Or will it?

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.

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.
