Why Did My Article Get Deleted?

You cannot determine if someone truly sucks or not until you really get to know them.

Why Did My Article Get Deleted?

A week ago, I dropped my magnum opus, per say. It got hundreds of more views within twenty-four hours than I have ever gotten before on any of my wonderfully terse pieces. I literally wrote it in the discussion section of my Islam class, with Rafin right next to me, so he could see firsthand how I planned to roast him. Furthermore, he even choreographed the wording of the last paragraph. That's how much of a goober this kid is. He was excruciatingly insistent, wanting the world to know that he has a vast sports jersey collection and has a Hawaiian shirt "for every day of the week."

Last Monday, I put the article in various Facebook groups, ostensibly attempting to increase the amount of views I got and to make sure I specifically got more views than Max McSherry, another content creator here at Odyssey. Things were going well. A lot of friends from home read it and found it rather funny. I hoped they would, considering they knew both Rafin and me. People who didn't know Rafin wouldn't have the knowledge of how terrible his personality is, though; so, I fervently attempted to convey that fact through my writing (and of course the dumb picture of him). However, as I stepped out of class early Monday evening, Rafin texted me, asking if I had deleted my post that shared the article in the Class of 2019 Facebook Group.

I checked, and sure enough, my post had vanished. Someone had deleted it. For what reason? I don't know. My article definitely wasn't spam. Someone had commented asking essentially what the point of the article was. The fact that I have to churn out an article per week is more than enough reason. Maybe the person responsible for the deletion of my article took issue with the title. Odds are they probably didn't read a bit of the content beyond that; because if they did, they'd certainly have realized that the title acts as a vital vehicle in the true point of my piece: discriminating against people for aspects of their life, such as their religion, is an abhorrent practice. My piece, consequently, demonstrates that you cannot determine if someone truly sucks or not until you really get to know them.

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.
