To Millennial Men

Why men my age should stop the games and grow up.

People wonder why sologamy is becoming popular

The act when you marry yourself

Why marriage percentages are tied with divorce

Why being in a relationship seems forced

Why no one is happy anymore

Unhappiness goes both ways

It's time to discuss issues facing millennials these days

What do men in my generation have to offer?

When the majority of them are in prison

Or the rest are being slaughtered

If they are not in these two categories

They are involved in chaos or we are reading terrible stories

Having mothers, sisters, aunts, and grandmothers

Some have no respect for women, let alone one another

You cannot force a female to partake in what she does not want to

Whisper meaningless words into her ears just so she could do what you want her to do

Leading her on because she is insecure

Or taking advantage of her when she said she is unsure

You glorify the women that hurt you and offer you nothing

While the ones that are "wifey" material you keep shunning

I have heard men in college tell women that they are perfect, but they want to "thot" around before they settle down

Then when the fun and games are over whose phone are they contacting, and why are they searching all around?

Putting us women in disgusting situations where our lives and health are in danger

Now she is pregnant and he is the stranger

Or now she has a contracted a disease from him and he is the blamer

Men are so quick to call her a whore

However they were not saying that when they were using her up more and more

Of course these situations go both ways

Again I am telling you how life is nowadays

I attended college where the "men" whispered when I entered the room

Yet no one would dare utter a word to me, like speaking would bring them doom

I spoke to a few, had crushes on some

Nevertheless it is difficult when the athletes and popular girls get attention and you get none

I was comfortable in my skin and knew what I wanted

Yet I guess I appeared mysterious because I was modest and didn't flaunt it

So Millennial men stop lying about your whereabouts

Or being in a relationship

We are getting too old for childish games

To be quite frank I am over the emotional trips

You constantly let us down and think nothing of it

Then when you are hurt they declare all women are the same

Telling a woman that she is just something to do

Would be different if the same words were uttered to you

There has to be some mutual understanding between us young men and women

If we plan on meeting someone and making a commitment

For millennial women what I said is the same

Do not act a certain way and wonder why he calls you out of your name

Please stop telling us what to do with our bodies

Because you will never understand fear the consequences of being intimate

When you want affection, but for some reason you are just not into it

You come off as being asexual because of it

I do not condone such actions, nor do I condone violence

Often times we need to take a step back and analyze the situation in silence

At what point do we grow up and behave like adults?

I guess when we are old and single, living by ourselves

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.

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.
