When You Assume, It Makes An ASS Of U And ME

You can be the craziest girl at the bar, the most athletic, and the smartest in the classroom because no one knows what you're capable of.

When You Assume, It Makes An ASS Of U And ME
Isabella Sansone

You CAN do it all.

You might not know me personally, and then again you might. You might just read my blogs and not bother to look at the writer, and that's fine. My goal is to reach you, whoever you might me.

I am broadcasting the fact, with no shame, that I am walking proof, that just because you do, like, want, think, believe one thing, DOES NOT MEAN you are like this, that or don’t like people like that or ideas about this.

I am taking this opportunity to write for the people who can do, and who do, DO it all.

Just because you have a boyfriend doesn’t mean you are no longer independent. Just because you like to read in your free time doesn’t mean you are boring. Just because you are smart doesn’t mean you don’t know how to have a good time. Just because you like to party doesn’t mean you are wild and out of control. Just because you are a single parent doesn’t mean your child will have a poor upbringing. Just because you have wronged once doesn’t mean you will be wrong your whole life. Just because you are religious doesn’t mean you want nothing to do with those who aren't. Just because you don't practice a religion "the right way" doesn't mean you don't have faith. Just because you make a lot of money doesn’t mean you are greedy. Just because you are poor doesn’t mean you have a disadvantage in life. Just because it takes you longer to learn something doesn’t mean you won’t success.

You get the point. The amount of assumptions that people make based on the small things that one may perceive about you is ridiculous. Assuming makes an ASS of U and ME. You can do it all. You can be anything you want to be. And if you can, so can someone else. Everyone is different in their own ways and carries their own beliefs and values. Stop making assumptions because it is quite possible to be the wildest one at the bar and the smartest in the classroom. People make assumptions based on prior knowledge and experiences, but it gives us an unfair advantage. Granted, life isn't fair, but we don't deserve a label.

Bottom line, you, just as much as the next person, are completely unaware of my, yours and their capabilities. It doesn't matter what you do, and it doesn't matter what people think. Don't assume anything about someone else because you wouldn't want them to draw conclusions about you now, would you?

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
